Issues Building with MinGW

[Nyrus]

Hello, I've been using SFML for a while and it works great when I build my program for linux on Ubuntu. Though when I try to build it for windows I run into a bit of difficulty.

When compiling the code from the window tutorial,

Code: [Select]

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

using the command:

Code: [Select]

i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o test test.cpp -mwindows -lstdc++ -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
when I run it in wine I get a bunch of errors like:

Code: [Select]


err:module:import_dll Library libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\Test\\sfml-system.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library sfml-system.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\Test\\sfml-window.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\Test\\sfml-window.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library sfml-window.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\Test\\test") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\Test\\test" failed, status c0000135

So apparently I'm missing "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll". I've searched all directories of my computer and it was not found.
I tried installing codeblocks with MinGW and compiling it with that instead and got the same result. What should I do to fix this? What am I doing wrong?

I had the same error on windows, I was using mingw with gcc
4.4.

I installed the latest version (4.6.1), it works now.

I just updated mingw and gcc, and I'm still getting the errors.

Well thanks for the response, I managed to fix my problem by getting the missing dll from the mingw at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
