static libs problem

[fastrgv]

I have a simple C++ program that compiles and runs fine using shared SFML libs,
but aborts [with a seg.fault] using static libs:

   string const scifi("quick_portal.wav");

   if( !sbLaser.loadFromFile(scifi) )
   {
      cout<<"sfml-audio problem loading file: "<<scifi<<endl;
      exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
   }

   sound.setBuffer(sbLaser); 
   sound.setVolume(50);
   sound.setLoop(false);
   sound.play();

   sleep(2);
   cout<<"...done..."<<endl;
   return 0;

I built SFML v2.3.2 from source on my build machine running OpenSUSE 13.2 with no errors.
I have used ldd to ensure you would have a chance to execute the binaries, if you choose.
I sent both the static and shared versions.

I am attaching my build files.

Thanks,

Where does it abort?

[fastrgv]

it aborts somewhere before the program entry point.  GDB traceback says something like this:

I could not include my whole build because it was about 3MB and that is too big to attach.

So it crashes somewhere in pthread. Did you build SFML yourself?

[fastrgv]

yes, built it myself from source...first the shared libs, then the static.  Absolutely no problem during build.  The shared libs I generated work perfectly, not so with the static.

[Laurent]

Don't construct SFML resources at global scope.

[fastrgv]

Ok.  I put those 2 declarations inside main, like the tutorial example.
But it still acts the same?

[Laurent]

Give us the new callstack then.

[fastrgv]

...looks pretty much the same:

(gdb) backtrace

So sorry, my mistake.
(somehow my edits did not save...)
The declarations inside main fixed it.
Thank you.
