Problem compiling project in CodeLite

[Sneaky]

I'm building a game with SFML on Windows but I also want it to run on Linux, so I followed this guide here:

http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=18820.0

The problem is when I compile it I get an error:

./SFML-Test: error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-graphics.so.2.3: cannot open object file: No such file or directory

But I have that file, so I don't understand why it can't find it. I searched Google and none of the answers were of any help. I've checked my linker and compiler settings multiple times so I really have no idea why it doesn't work. Any help would be really appreciated.

Check if it's listed on 'ldconfig -p'. If it's not try running 'ldconfig' as root.

I did that, couldn't find it listed when I ran ldconfig -p so I used the ldconfig command but I still get the same error.

Are you sure you have ran make install and have the so files in /usr/local/lib or similar?

Following this guide for linux, http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-linux.php, is what you need to do.  Compiling and installing with cmake on linux installs SFML to /usr/local in a couple of directories.  Do this

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<sfml-install-path>/lib && ./sfml-app

as per the above tutorial and you should be fixed.  Change ./sfml-app to your app name.

In the long run, adding the install location to ld.so.conf and running ldconfig once and for all is simpler.
Or set the correct rpath in the app when you build it.

I agree, but had I posted that Laurent would have chimed in saying that is bad so I did the temporary method

Thanks, got it working using this. Also had to switch my VM software from Virtualbox to VMWare, Virtualbox had problems with OpenGL.
