unknown type 'namespace'

[smexhy]

Hello, i followed the tutorial on how to set up SFML with GCC (code::blocks) and i made a game with it so far, but now everytime I make another program and have to use SFML i have to re-do the whole tutorial which is really taking a lot of time.
So i went to Settings > Compiler > Global Compiler Settings and did the tutorial putting the lib's in Global Compiler Settings than in Build Options and now when I compile any program it gets me this error:

..\..\..\..\..\SFML\SFML-2.1\include\SFML\Config.hpp|129|error: unknown type name 'namespace'|
..\..\..\..\..\SFML\SFML-2.1\include\SFML\Config.hpp|130|error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '{' token|

It looks like you're trying to compile C++ code with a C compiler. You messed up your compiler settings, if it was working before your changes.

How do i set code::blocks with SFML correctly, may i ask?
The tutorial for 2.1 and 2.0 show only how to set it locally, to a project .
Thank you!

1) Go to Settings > Compiler > Global Compiler Settings.
2) Select your compiler
3) Press "reset defaults"
4) Tab "Search directories" > Compiler : add the location of the SFML headers
5) Tab "Search directories" > Linker: add the location of the SFML libraries (.lib/.so)
6) Tab "Linker settings" > Link libraries: add "sfml-system", etc.
7) Press ok and you're done.

Thanks, but still doesn't work. Did exactly what u said.
Same error.
I have Code::Blocks 12.11 and i think i have the compiler which comes with it.

[Sonkun]

I did exactly how I said and it worked :p

In your "Toolchains executable" tab, what C++ compiler is set ?

[smexhy]

Here it is.

[Sonkun]

I'm not on Windows, but just like that, shouldn't the compiler be named "MinGW compiler" or something ? Is your project correctly set up to use the right compiler ? Are you sure there aren't options in your project which overrides the compiler options ? Be careful, there are global options and configuration-specific options (Release, Debug), so make sure your project is built using the configuration you want.

[smexhy]

Did everything as it was on my working project.
Now i can't make any more sfml program, the only that works is the first one i made... 

[Sonkun]

Don't give up, it's all about setting up your compiler. At worst, try a fresh install.

Another hint, there's an option to display the full command line Code::blocks has used to build your project.(Other settings > Compiler logging : chose Full command line). You can still copy/paste this command line here to see how broken CodeBlocks is :p

[smexhy]

It's already on Full command line... I've no ideea how to fix it. I reinstalled code::blocks but it still has the old settings :\... A fresh install to what?

[Sonkun]

That's why you need to manually remove the C::B config files...

And the goal of having the full command lines displayed is to see what's wrong with your settings. So unless you copy/paste them here, we can't help you.

I know this hasn't been active for a while but since this problem was really getting to me and i  found the solution i thought i'd just leave it here.

I had the same issue, same errors, thought it was the compiler but it wasn't, i had in fact accidentally saved my file as .c instead of .cpp.
