Dynamic linking error at runtime, "entry point could not be located"

[Kraken]

I successfully compiled the example program with g++ on windows 11, but when I run the program, I get a popup window with this message:

the procedure entry point _ZSt28__throw_bad_array_new_lenghtv could not be located in the dynamic link library "C:\SFML-projects\template\sfml-window-2.dll"

SFML-projects\template is my project folder, and I copied all the .dll files there.

I am using MinGW 32, and the "SFML-2.6.0-windows-gcc-13.1.0-mingw-32-bit" package from the downloads page.

How do I fix this?

Did you happen to skillfully scroll past the red box on the download page that says:

Unless you are using a newer version of Visual Studio, the compiler versions have to match 100%!
Here are links to the specific MinGW compiler versions used to build the provided packages:
WinLibs MSVCRT 13.1.0 (32-bit), WinLibs MSVCRT 13.1.0 (64-bit)

?

If you want to use your own compiler, then you can do so by for example using the SFML CMake template, or just build SFML from source.

Wait, what do you mean? I'm using MinGW 32bit and that's the exact package I'm using. What am I missing?

The part about "the compiler versions have to match 100%". There are lots and lots of different MinGW distributions out there. It's not good enough to just pick one at random.

If you want to use the pre-built binaries from the download page you have to use the compilers linked in the quote box.

Ah, I understand now.
I've decided to switch to visual studio instead and it is working perfectly, thank you for the help.
