Why do I get this error with 'sf::clock' and other sf:: codes
« on: November 24, 2017, 10:25:51 pm »
Hello I have an issue with my code.
sf::Clock clock;
sf::Time elapsed = clock.restart();
i get this error.
Quote
undefined reference to `sf::Clock::Clock()'

undefined reference to `sf::Clock::restart()'
It is also giving me similar error with other "sf::" lines but that might be the clock code causing that.
I am using Code::Blocks with SFML to do this if anyone knows how to fix this please help me.

If you have readed the turorial about time: https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.4/system-time.php, then you would know that you can't do this:

sf::Time elapsed = float;

but rather:

sf::Time timee = sf::seconds(clock.restart().asSeconds());

Because time variable, was already defined.

Or just simply:

float time = clock.restart();

Something is wrong with your linker settings, you should double check or show them here.

Which you obviously didn't do.

Please avoid posting unrelated and wrong information, and start reading the tutorials that you mention ;D

Yeah I just checked my linker settings and nothing is linked. Is there a specific file that I have to link to it?
