Getting SFML to work (SFML/*: no such file or directory)

[TPRammus]

Hey!

I am trying to get SFML working for at least two hours now.
Currently my problem is that if I try to compile the tutorial (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.4/start-cb.php), it says

||=== Build: Debug in SFML project (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
D:\C++\Projekte\SFML project\main.cpp|1|fatal error: SFML/Graphics.hpp: No such file or directory|
||=== Build failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|

which is very frustrating.
I am using Code::Blocks with SFML 2.4.1. I tried to set everything up in the Project's Build Options which didnt work so I tried doing everything in the compiler settings (I copied the default GNU GCC compiler and changed the settings at the new one).

Here are some Screenshots:

Since you copied the compiler settings, you need to make sure to switch the project to the new compiler.
But it's not recommended to add library path to your compiler settings, just add them to the project settings and make sure they apply properly for the wanted targets.

Thank you for your help Sir. That solved this one issue.
I actually thought, that the compiler you select in the Compiler settings would be used.

But now I have a ton of undefined references for whatever reason. And I am pretty sure I selected the right version...

Undefined references means that the linker couldn't find the specified functions, which means that you most likely didn't link the right libraries.
If you use the project settings, make sure to add the libraries for release and debug mode.

[TPRammus]

Do I have to set it up in the project settings? Because it would be way more comfortable to just switch the compiler to the SFML version every time I work with SFML.
Also, I think that I linked all libraries right.
You can see the list on the third picture: http://imgur.com/a/fWNra

Okay I reinstalled Code::Blocks and SFML now completely. (Yeah all files including the ones in %appdata% etc)
I think the problem might have been that I chose the 64 bit version of SFML even tho I had the 32 bit compiler installed?
Anyway, this time I chose 32 bit with the 32 bit compiler. And now I get other errors (but they are still undefined reference-errors):

You forgot to link OpenGL.

[TPRammus]

The only problem is that there is no opengl32, the only thing I can find is openal32. (see attachment)

[eXpl0it3r]

It's a system library, same for winmm, ws_32, etc.
Your compiler knows where to find them, so you just have to add their names to the library list.

[TPRammus]

Yes! Finally! It works now.
Thank you very much for your patience and have a nice day
