Can´t run sfml games on a certain machine

[shiroaisu]

hi
so when I open a sfml app it launches only the cmd prompt and doesn't do anything besides that, doesn't seem to load anything.

the machine in question
windows 7 64bits, recently installed
CPU amd atlhon 64 x2
Graphic card ATI radeon HD 3600

video drivers up to date

Its a bug between sfml and new ati drivers, use the static libs instead of the dynamic. I just had the same problem as you.

[shiroaisu]

unfortunately that isn't the problem   :evil:

the dll's i have in the app folder are:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libsndfile-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
openal32.dll

I have a laptop windows 7 64bits with a ATI grapchic card very similar and I don't have the problem and the video driver is updated.
I think is something about this machine I have no clue what might be though.

edit:

Oh sory, i was thinking about something else when u said static libs ^^'. But how can i compile my program with static libraries?? that is something i never covered, can u pls just give me an hint?

[Zamadatix]

For me using codeblocks w/ mingw I had to buld sfml's static libs then in linker options change "lsfml-graphics" to "lsfml-graphics-s" and so on down the list. I also remove SFML_DYNAMIC from my #defines and put in SFML_STATIC but im not sure if that was necessary.

[shiroaisu]

hmm, i tryed to compile my program with the following linker options:

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

and i have the linker search directories to the lib folder in the SFML folder, but when i try to create a sf::RenderWindow i get the following errors:

What am i doing wrong here??

[Laurent]

Try in this order:

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

Ok, tks that solved it
