I seriously dont know what is wrong here. The error is simple the following:
'fatal error: SFML/Config.hpp: No such file or directory'
I have included every library file for windows (building for linux using standard -l commands works) and pointed the compiler to it
I use makefiles if that helps

The SFML headers can't find SFML/Config.hpp.
Check that the Config.hpp header exists at <path to SFML include dir>/SFML.

What does "I have included every library file for windows" mean exactly?

It exists where it should
By that i mean i used -L for every library file

Oh and when i meant it cant find the header file i meant System.hpp cant find Config.hpp, main.cpp finds config just fine

Are you telling your compiler, where to find header files with -I?

Yes, i am, and it still doesn't work. Also, g++ for linux completely finds the headers from system, but mingw doesnt.

Can you provide the full build command?

Have you ever looked at the build command that this make file generates?

You shouldn't be adding header files to the compilation step.
Header files are only included, only source files are "compiled".

So i should use -c instead of compiling all at once?
