i got errors at compilation

[stupiddevil]

I installed sfml in code bloks and tryed to run the program in the tutorial, it gives me a bounch of errors at compilation :

[stupiddevil]

this is the program :
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

Looks like you didn't link SFML

[stupiddevil]

I followed the steps of the tutorial can't figure out what went wrong

[eXpl0it3r]

Are you trying to link SFML statically, but haven't set SFML_STATIC?

Can you provide your verbose build output: https://www.sfml-dev.org/faq.php#tr-grl-verbose-ide

You're trying to link Visual Studio library files (*.lib) while using GCC/MinGW. This won't work.

You have to use the MinGW package, and make sure your compiler aligns with the version linked on the SFML download page. It has to be 100% identical!

Alternatively, you can also use the SFML CMake Template, which automatically builds SFML, but you'd be using CMake.

[stupiddevil]

Thank you for your help. It seems Mingw pakage is for 64 bits arhitecture CMake is also for 64 bits. Im on win32. Ill try to solve the prroblem, again thx for help

[stupiddevil]

oh my bad there is a win32 version for mingw !

I linked libraries as stated in the tutorial (lib prefix and .a extensions omited) and this is what i got :

You're not actually linking the libraries, you're just listing them. You need to specify the -l (lower case L) followed by the library you want to link. And since you specify the library path with -L already, you can also drop the path, the prefix and suffix.

-lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

If you use Code::Blocks, see the tutorial on where to specify the libraries: https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/start-cb.php
