cant run SFML on Code::Blocks

[zys5945]

Just followed the tutorial and tried to compile the example code but got error messages:

seems like a linker problem but i did link sfml-graphics sfml-window and sfml-system, cant figure out what's wrong, any help?

[zys5945]

tried to link other dependencies but got same error

[dabbertorres]

What's the command you're using to compile?

If I remember the naming scheme for Windows correctly, I think the libraries all have a "-2" on the end of the lib name.

So, for ex:
sfml-window-2

[zys5945]

thx for the reply, i used Code::Blocks to compile and the command is
mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -DSFML_STATIC -g -IC:\SFML-2.2\include -Iinclude -c C:\test\src\test.cpp -o obj\Debug\src\test.o
i think all the linkers are working fine else i will get error message on that

You're not linking sfml-graphics etc.
Moreover if you're statically linking you also need to link SFML dependencies.

If you're sure that you linked them, maybe you linked them in release mode but not in debug.

[zys5945]

under link libraries i got sfml-graphics sfml-window and sfml-system in that order, as u can see i got dynamic links and i included my linker and compiler with SFML\lib and SFML\include, i tried static linking with command
mingw32-g++.exe -LC:\SFML-2.2\lib -o bin\Debug\test.exe obj\Debug\src\test.o   -lsfml-graphics-s -lsfml-window-s -lsfml-system-s -lwinmm -lgdi32 -lglew32 -ljpeg -lfreetype -lopengl32
but same thing happened

[dabbertorres]

What are the filenames of the libraries in C:\SFML-2.2\lib?

[zys5945]

libfreetype.a
libglew.a
libjpeg.a
libopenal32.a
libsfml-audio.a
etc

it is the gcc 4.8.1 x64 version of sfml 2.2, i got the correct gcc version and 64bit os

[zys5945]

the ide itself even give me autocomplete, if i type "sf::R" renderwindow will show up

[dabbertorres]

Looks like you need to get rid of the "-s" on all the libraries for the linker command.

Notice the sfml libraries filenames don't have it.

[eXpl0it3r]

You need to decide whether you want to link statically or dynamically.

If you choose static:
Make sure SFML_STATIC is defined.
Make sure to link against the libraries with the -s suffix and check that these files actually exist.
Make sure to link against SFML's dependencies.
Make sure the link order is correct.

If you choose dynamic:
Make sure SFML_STATIC is not defined.
Make sure to link against the libraries without the -s suffix and check that these files actually exist.
Make sure the link order is correct.

For both cases you'll need to make sure to not mix debug and release modes. In debug mode link against the libraries with the -d suffix. In release mode link against the libraries without the -d suffix.

And as usually everything is explained in the official tutorial, you just need to follow it step by step without skipping bits here and there.

Thank you for the help

I did read through the tutorial but still can't get it working, i tried static and dynamic linking with release mode, the files are there, but when I use dynamic linking and delete the SFML_STATIC define, i got some different error messages:

You should always post the command line used to build your project (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=12552.0) with your errors, it grealtly helps to spot what you did wrong.
Are you sure you removed the -s in the linker?

[zys5945]

command line was like this :

mingw32-g++.exe -L..\SFML-2.2\lib -o bin\Debug\test.exe obj\Debug\src\test.o   -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
