Do you know the difference between dynamic and static linking?

Well pal, my english is kinda bad, but I know the difference between dynamic and static, but I'm really a beginner developer, I'm kinda confused on how to use stuff, if you know what I mean. :?

Hi all!
First of all: I don't speak english since almost 3 or 4 years. Please, forgive my bad grammar...

I have a similar problem: i can't compile the file window-opengl.cpp of the tutorial about OpenGL (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/window-opengl.php). When i try to compile it, code::blocs gives the error "undefined reference to" every function (or methods) that refers to gl or glu. I tried to link every combination of "-l", "gl", "glu", "glu32"; copy "gl32", "glu32", "OpenGL32" *.lib and *.ddl files in every folder; including "gl.h", "glu.h", "glext.h", but it still gives the same error.

Could you help me?

One tip would be, don't use SFML 1.6, when 2.0 is very stable (I use it in commercial applications, and if it wasn't stable, I wouldn't use it!).

Get 2.0 and follow the instructions. It's really about time that various compiled versions were available for download. CMake can be difficult if you've never used it before :p

ok, thanks! I'll try as soon as possible!

ok, I've installed the second version, and it seems to work, but it also looks a lot different from the 1.6 ... There is a tutorial or do I learn all from the documentation?
