"SFML works!" tutorial not working

[R3B3LCAUSE]

NOOB DISCLAIMER: I apologize if I missed something obvious or left important info out of my description, I am new to all of this.

I am trying to use SFML with CodeBlocks. I followed all the instructions on the SFML tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-cb.php and then copy and pasted the example code. It compiled with no errors or warnings, but it won't execute. The debugger says that

"Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
In sf::String::String () (C:\[directory]\bin\Release\sfml-system-2.dll)"

I am not sure what that means or how to fix it.

If you're running in debug mode, make sure you link against the debug libraries, that is the ones with the -d suffix (e.g. sfml-system-d).

[R3B3LCAUSE]

Just double checked that, debug has the -d

[R3B3LCAUSE]

Bump. Please help

[eXpl0it3r]

What SFML package did you download? And what's your compiler?

[R3B3LCAUSE]

My package is SFML-2.1-windows-gcc-4.7-tdm-32bits.zip and my compiler is the default GCC sjlj compiler that comes with CodeBlocks

[eXpl0it3r]

I guess you then need to provide more information, e.g. see here.

Is there anything wrong here?

And we're back to my first statement:

If you're running in debug mode, make sure you link against the debug libraries, that is the ones with the -d suffix (e.g. sfml-system-d).

You're linking against the release libraries (without -d suffix) instead of the debug libraries in debug mode.

The build troubleshooting Jedi strikes again! woosh!

I can see the -d

[eXpl0it3r]

I can see them too, but in the same statement you're also linking against the release libraries and since you link against them first, they'll get used first.

My guess is, that you set the release libraries in the global settings instead of just the release settings.

[R3B3LCAUSE]

Oh that's it! Thanks

[R3B3LCAUSE]

Crap, it didn't work. I removed the global linking settings and recompiled it but it still wont execute

[eXpl0it3r]

Post the new build command and error.
