Problem with static linking libraries (Win/C::B)

[Kikert]

Hi,
I'm trying to debug SFML 2.1 demo application from this setting Code::Blocks tutorial. I have Windows 7 64-bit with Code::Blocks 32-bit (MinGW).

As written, I created new project (and copied whole SFML-2.1 directory inside) with the following settings (Project/Build options...):

General:
Compiler settings/#defines: SFML_STATIC
Search directories/Compiler: SFML-2.1\include
Search directories/Linker: SFML-2.1\lib

Debug:
Linker settings/Link libraries:
libsfml-graphics-s-d
libsfml-system-s-d
libsfml-window-s-d

Release:
Linker settings/Link libraries:
libsfml-graphics-s
libsfml-system-s
libsfml-window-s

When I start debugging session everything builds fine, but there's error on startup like "Could not execute program because sfml-graphics-2.dll was not found." (in my native language).

I followed tutorial well and I have no idea what is done wrong. Any hints?

Are you sure, you're starting the right application? Because if you link everything as described it should not ask for a DLL...

Well, then I was, but now after full rebuild I have two errors repeating in sources:

SFML-2.1\lib\libsfml-graphics-s-d.a(CircleShape.cpp.obj)||In function `ZN2sf11CircleShapeC2Efj':|
D:\developpement\sfml\sfml\src\SFML\Graphics\CircleShape.cpp|37|undefined reference to `_Unwind_Resume'|
SFML-2.1\lib\libsfml-graphics-s-d.a(CircleShape.cpp.obj):CircleShape.cpp:(.eh_frame+0x13)||undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'|

// ...

||More errors follow but not being shown.|
||Edit the max errors limit in compiler options...|
||=== Build finished: 50 errors, 0 warnings (0 minutes, 2 seconds) ===|
 

Sometime both of them appears, sometimes it's only one of them.

Hello.

Probably it's because you are using gcc not g++.
Try to add "-lstdc++" to end of compiler command line and rebuild again.

gcc test.cpp -lstdc++

(read this link or this on stackoverflow for more info)

[eXpl0it3r]

It's more likely that you didn't make a clean rebuild and have some old object files from a different compiler version.

[Kikert]

I checked lstdc++ and there's no difference.

Also manual removing generated files and rebuild did not help.

[eXpl0it3r]

Well have you built the libraries and your application with the exact same compiler?

[Kikert]

Didn't get it at first, sorry.

I've compiled static libraries for MinGW following tutorial, but now it seems like window cannot find dependencies:

You don't link against the system module properly. Make sure the order is correct as well.

[amir ramezani]

add these commands in the linker flags:

Code: [Select]

-static-libgcc
-static-libstdc++
and link the libraries like this:

Code: [Select]

sfml-audio-s
sfml-network-s
sfml-graphics-s
sfml-window-s
sfml-system-s
follow that for debug with -D at the end
and of course, link opengl32 and glu32 in order for it to work
