Help! Can't static link to SFML.

[vehem]

When I compiled the test code in the http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-cb.php I get something like this.

Code: [Select]


-------------- Build: Release in Test ---------------

Linking console executable: bin\Release\Test.exe
C:\CodeBlock AddLibrary\SFML-1.6\lib\mingw/libsfml-system-s.a(Platform.o):Platform.cpp:(.text+0x96): undefined reference to `_Unwind_Resume'
C:\CodeBlock AddLibrary\SFML-1.6\lib\mingw/libsfml-system-s.a(Platform.o):Platform.cpp:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
2 errors, 0 warnings
 

By the way I'm using CB 10.05 w/ mingw packaged.  The gcc version is 4.4.1(TDM-2 mingw32) and my "linker settings"->"link libraries" options is "sfml-system-s".

I've used SFML on debian and static linking there is working fine. Oh just remembered is there a way to compile static libraries in linux so that when I link to the libs I don't need to add its dependencies on every projects ei X11, pthreads?

Anyone? Please help me on this.

Try using gcc 4.5. This solved some of my problems when compiling on windows.

You must use a DW2 version of gcc, not a SJLJ one. Or recompile SFML with your version of the compiler.

I've installed the TDM-GCC-4.5.1 ( still a SJLJ ), compiled the sfml but I still get the same error coupled with more undefined reference to sfml classes.

@Laurent
Where can I get the DW2 version?

[vehem]

Changed the order of libraries option from
sfml-system-s
sfml-window-s
to
sfml-window-s
sfml-system-s

and now the undefined reference error is gone but I think it was replaced by a bunch of _Unwind_Resume and __gxx_personality_v0 errors.

Where can I get the DW2 version?

TDM website has both versions (the DW2 version is not provided as a bundled package, though).

You can also simply install the packaged archive provided in the SFML tutorial for Code::Blocks.

the undefined reference error is gone but I think it was replaced by a bunch of _Unwind_Resume and __gxx_personality_v0 errors

So you probably didn't properly compile SFML, or you're still using the old one. Can you describe what you did?

[vehem]

I just execute the build.bat in build\codeblocks\ folder then when I compile the test code I link to the .a libraries under the lib\mingw.

You can also simply install the packaged archive provided in the SFML tutorial for Code::Blocks.

. Oh ok tnx. Im currently downloading it right now.

Thank you sirs. It's working now. I'm using the one on the CB/mingw tutorials.
