Code::Blocks linker problems

[AB]

I've followed the instructions on http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-cb.php but I'm getting an "undefined reference" error for every SFML in the code. I'm trying to use static libraries. What am I doing wrong?

This is how my Code::Blocks and the project folder are set up: http://imgur.com/a/laDFM

I'm on Win 7 and using the SFML-2.0-windows-gcc-4.7-tdm-64bits release.

Edit: speaking of different release versions, I have both "libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll" and "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" in my MingW which came with Code::Blocks.

The "link libraries" settings are not the same as in the tutorial. Compare the screenshots.

And the libraries to link are different between debug and release configurations. This is even written in red in the tutorial.

It's not possible to input "sfml-graphics" into the "link libraries" field in my Code::Blocks (only into the "other linker options"). The "link libraries" field only accepts a direct path to the file.

Unfortunately that doesn't work either.

Nope, that's just you thinking it can't take anything else. Don't use the ... button to choose a file, but simply enter sfml-graphics.

Yep, this is correct.
And yes, it's not supposed to solve this problem. Since your app fails to link and run, you haven't seen yet the other problem that it solves

It's not possible to input "sfml-graphics" into the "link libraries" field in my Code::Blocks (only into the "other linker options"). The "link libraries" field only accepts a direct path to the file.

So what, I photoshoped the tutorial screenshot?

You're right. It's weird but it's possible: http://imgur.com/a/pHV1X

May I suggest pointing this out in the tutorial? I first thought my version of Code::Blocks was different than the one in the tutorial screenshot.

Unfortunately that still doesn't fix the problem. What else could I be doing wrong?

Can you provide the full error, since they can provide more details to what goes wrong.

Yes you did! You also photoshopped the whole library, it's all one big lie!

Sure. The code that's causing these is copy pasted from the tutorial page.

I found the problem

GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 64 bits does not work on my Windows 7 x64.
GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 32 bits works.

GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 64 bits

This means the 64 bits version of the compiler, not the OS.
