[SOLVED] Build error: undefined reference to `sf::Text::setFillColor()

[richchigga]

Hi! I am currently working on a project using sfml. I am making a mainmenu with sf::Text and using

this->title->setFillColor

which works on OS X.
I have been developing on OS X and the code runs fine, but when im trying to run the code on my computer, which is running Elementary OS in VM, the code comes with an error:

CMakeFiles/Project.dir/Source_Files/States/stateMainMenu.cpp.o: In function `stateMainMenu::render(sf::RenderWindow*)':
/home/richchigga/Project/Source Files/States/stateMainMenu.cpp:90: undefined reference to `sf::Text::setFillColor(sf::Color const&)'

When changing the code to

this->title->setColor(sf::Color::Blue);

it runs fine.

Please help, i can not seem to find the problem.
If you have further questions, just ask.
Thanks in advance!

You probably have the wrong version of SFML set up on your VM. Versions 2.4.0+ have deprecated the use of some functions, including setColor. It was replaced with setFillColor.

I downloaded the latest SFML files from the site, SFML-2.4.0 and extracted as said in the description.

Well, i fixed it now. Installed SFML through command line and oddly enought it installed the 2.0 version. Had to edit the CMAKE FLAGS to /usr/local lib and includes.
