Drawing string with SFML 2.0

[Stanislav]

sfml::Font font;
font.loadFromFile("C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\Arial.ttf");
sfml::Text text;
text.setFont(font);
text.setCharacterSize(30);
text.setStyle(sfml::Text::Bold);
text.setColor(sfml::Color::Blue);
text.setString("example");
window.draw(text);
 

I'm getting the following error:
C:\DOCUME~1\STANIS~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccFZolgr.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x476d): undefined
 reference to `__imp___ZN2sf6StringC1ERKSsRKSt6locale'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

If i comment the setString() line it compiles without any errors. What's the problem?

You should've read this post.

What exacte SFML version? Which OS? Which compiler? How did you set it up? Were you following 1:1 the official tutorial? etc etc

If you want to link statically you'll have to define SFML_STATIC and use the libs with the -s suffix.
If you want to link dynamically you should not define SFML_STATIC and use the libs without suffix (except the -d for debug mode).

Don't forget to link to sfml-system.

Thanks. It works fine now.
