Error installing SFML 1.6 using code::blocks 10.05
« on: November 24, 2011, 07:55:06 pm »
Hello, i followed this instruction to install sfml:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-cb.php and used the first method of installing(the copy one).
After doing what it tells me and compiling the given example code i get the following error message:

"program cant be started due to lacking libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll on my pc.[...]"
its obvious whats the problem but i dont understand why a) this has not been discussed in the tutorial and b) where i can find this file.

It has nothing to do with SFML, it's a DLL of the compiler -- you can find it in your mingw/bin folder. You can get rid of it with a specific linker option.

i looked into it now but can not find an option related to that dll, could you be a bit more specific?

Nevermind, i got it right.

BUT: is there a way to not have to copy some dlls everytime you compile a new project? Can't you tell the compiler to automatically include those dlls?

It doesn't make sense, you can't "include DLLs". All you can do is to link to the static version of the libraries (if available) so that there's no DLL.
