Hello, I have installed Codeblocks on my Debian Linux, I want to make a project with a bunch of files so using console g++ is pretty inconvenient.
I downloaded codeblocks and libsfml-dev through apt-get, however it doesn't seem to work properly.
After I try to compile sample code in codeblocks, I receive the message:
||=== Build: Debug in test_project (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld||cannot find -lsfml-graphics-d|
ld||cannot find -lsfml-window-d|
ld||cannot find -lsfml-system-d|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 4 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|


In build options, the only 2 things I changed were putting SFML_STATIC to #defines and inserting sfml-graphics/window/system-d modules for debug and sfml-graphics/window/system for release mode.
My guess would be that the compiler simply doesn't see sfml's libraries. How am I able to tell the compiler where to look?
And if that's not the case, how can I solve this issue?

PS: Here's how I compile the code through terminal:
$ g++ -c main.cpp
$ g++ main.o -o sfml-app -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

I don't have to tell g++ any additional paths, so it seems that the sfml package was installed in default path, so shouldn't codeblocks compile it without any problem too?

Ypu can't do something one way and thn do it differently the other way and expect it to work.

On Linux there are no debug libs provided by apt-get, thus the -d prefix is wrong.

Oh... ok, deleted the suffix '-d' from debug mode and now everything works perfectly fine.
Thank you for your quick reply, appreciate it!
