Undefined references when linking statically

[NordCoder]

I am trying to link SFML 1.6 to my project in Code::Blocks 10.05 with MingW 4.4.1

I followed this tutorial and used the same source code used as an example.

I am getting the following errors:

Code: [Select]

I know this question has probably been asked a dozen times or more but before posting I: Reread the tutorial, searched the internet and double-checked the settings/options in Code::Blocks.

Additionally, I added the SFML_DYNAMIC define and "-lsfml-system-s-d" and copied "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" and "sfml-system-d.dll" to my project executable's directory and got it to work (in Debug configuration). I should also mention that "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" was to located in the MingW version I have (found "libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll" instead). I got this .dll from the download suggested in the beginning of the tutorial. I still want to make it work with the static libraries though

Additionally, I added the SFML_DYNAMIC define

Which is for dynamic link, not static

I should also mention that "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" was to located in the MingW version I have (found "libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll" instead)

So it means that your MinGW is not compatible with the one that was used to compile SFML. You can recompile SFML with yours, or download the version I used (the link is provided in the Code::Blocks tutorial).

Which is for dynamic link, not static

It may not have been clear what I was trying to say but I only used the define when I compiled dynamically

Switching the path under Settings -> Compiler and debugger... -> Global compiler settings -> Toolchain executables -> Compiler's installation directory to the path of the MingW version you suggest in the tutorial makes it work flawlessly for static linking I also managed to circumvent the fps issues (very low delta-times) I experienced on my laptop a while back. Maybe I need to update my drivers or OpenGL version?

Anyway, thank you for your help
