i dont get this part: Important: this release of SFML was compiled with gcc 4.4, which makes the SFML libraries not compatible with the old gcc 3.4.5. The MinGW team hasn't released a full package including gcc 4.4 yet, so here is one that you can use: mingw-with-gcc-4.4.zip (34.9 MB).

First, you must download the SFML development files. You can download the minimal package (libraries + headers), but it is recommended that you download the full SDK, which contains samples and documentation as well.
These packages can be found on the download page.

Can you explain exactly what you don't understand?

[dsdevil]

why do i have to download mingw-with-gcc-4.4.zip?
i dont get what do i need that for. and i cant find an include map in my codeBlocks instalation

[Laurent]

why do i have to download mingw-with-gcc-4.4.zip?

This is exactly what I explain in your quote from the tutorial. The version of gcc shipped with Code::Blocks is probably not compatible with the one SFML was compiled with, so you have to download and install the latter.
But of course you can try first, maybe the newest Code::Blocks comes with the good version of gcc.

So, does that mean we have to wait before minigw comes out with a gcc 4.4 beta? Or does anyone have a download link for me.. Or do I need to downgrade SFML...

[Xorlium]

Hmm, what? No. What I did in my windows machine (why are you using windows anyway? ) was install MinGW (regular) and then replace it (i.e. overwrite every library, include file, etc.) with the one you can download from here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/mingw-with-gcc-4.4.zip

[Reikyrr]

Ok nice thanks, (windows for lots of games, even in windows compatibility is limited (Also, because I pay for something means I will use it. (I have a OEM pc)))

Edit, now it gives me way less errors, but still alot, all about unidentified references in the libaries. (before there where more then 80, now 50)

[dsdevil]

please explain what do i have to download and where to put it
so now i got that mingw and overwrite it with the one you say, but i cant find any kind of icon to click in to start the min gw in my installation folder. there is no exe! and, what thoes this have to do with code blocks

[Mindiell]

Code::Blocks is using files inside your MinGW directory. You don't have to run it yourself. There is ome exein the "bin" directory.

Right now, what you have to do is open Code::Blocks and choose, in the menu, "Settings / Compiler and Debugger".
Click on the "Reset Default" button and after some click to say "yes" to Code::Blocks, it must have detected your compiler (GNU GCC Compiler).

i get it now! but there is a problem... it detecs my dev c++ compliler!!! not mingw! but i got the libary in my dev compailer too, so i guess it is ok...
