Problems compiling a program on Ubuntu

[bacondude95]

Since I'm wanting to go into the game industry I thought it would be a good practice to get used to making cross-platform software.
I downloaded SFML 2.1 for Ubuntu 12.10 and followed the instructions. I'm currently using the 64 bit package of SFML since there are more instructions for 32-bit and decided I'll get into compiling with 32-bit later. Anyways I downloaded, and installed correctly, but having problems compiling. Okay maybe it's not compiling part exactly but more like the linking part to get the final executable(I also have all the .so files in the directory).

Whenever I link it I get this:


What does this mean?!
If it helps here is the code

#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;
}

 

If any other information is needed feel free to ask.

Try running

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

Looks like you're missing one of SFML's dependencies (the jpeg development library).

How did you install SFML?

[binary1248]

You need to install the dependencies, they are listed here.
You also need to link to the dependencies when building your application as explained in the FAQ (ignore the static part, you need to do it for dynamic linking as well).

If you downloaded the pre-compiled library from the SFML website, then more likely than not, something will not want to work. Building from source is so easy in Linux that it is the only thing I can recommend people to do.

I was actually going to use CMake and build it, but I was having problems finding the libraries and which versions to download, etc
Anything to help me out?

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install git cmake libfreetype6-dev libglew-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libjpeg8-dev libogg-dev libopenal-dev libpng12-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev libsndfile1-dev libvorbis-dev libxrandr-dev mesa-common-dev zlib1g-dev
git clone https://github.com/SFML/SFML.git
cd SFML
cmake .
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfigMaybe a bit more than you need, but it doesn't hurt to have a few spare libraries for when you need them...

Thanks for you help!!!

An easy way in Ubuntu to get alle dependencies is to just install den dependencies of the old SFML-package (1.6)

sudo apt-get build-dep libsfml-dev

This will only install the dependencies without the actual package.
