Problems compiling an release SFML2 application on linux

[aNewHobby]

Hi I am trying to compile on linux, (ubuntu) but I am having a problem with static linking. I would like to static link as there isn't a sfml2 pack out people can easily install. Everything compiles fine normally, but if I add the -s to the linker then it all goes haywire.

Maybe static isn't the way to go? But if I remove the -s and the #define it will now compile fine and even play, like in code::blocks when i press the build/run button... the application runs... but then if i go to the file itself.. as in the one I would post and send to people to use, it will not run?

If you link SFML statically, you must link all its dependencies too.

But you can simply provide the SFML libraries with your application.

ok.. how would I "include" the binaries.. I have tried copying the files into the same dir as the executable. but no luck... can you explain what you mean?

[Laurent]

By default, "." (the current directory) is not known by the library loader, so it can't find the SFML libraries if you just copy them there -- unlike what happens on Windows.

You have to add "." to the library loader's paths before launching your executable.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
./my_program

You should search more information about this, I'm not an expert

still a bit shaky on this but I "think" it runs....

You may need to run the .sh file... if you can not then sudo chmod +x ArkBreaker.sh first
