Author Topic: Exporting an SFML Project in Code::Blocks (Read 5108 times)

Hi all

For my dissertation, I need the program I have created (using Code::Blocks with SFML) to work on computers at Uni, which currently don't have SFML installed. Is there a way of taking everything I have in the project directory and make it like an application that can be run without needing the SFML part?

If it helps I am have created three files within the project on top of the SFML files etc.

Kind Regards

Melissa

Do you need just to run your program there, or do you need to compile it there as well?

All I need it to do is to display the command line and a render window for the game to play on, if that's what you mean. I wouldn't require to touch the code at all whilst I'm at uni, except to view a text file that it saves the data to each time it is played, but even then only to read not edit.

If it helps I am using SFML 1.6

Then you must just carry the .exe file and the dependencies needed (.dll files, image files, etc).

You can use the static version of the library, too

I thought that was how it was supposed to work, I began doubting myself with the errors that would appear on screen...

//First error before adding the file to the directory
"The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing"

//Add the file to the bin>Debug folder
"The program can't start because libstdc++-6.dll is missing"

//After adding the file different error shows
"The procedure entry point _ZTVN10_cxxabiv117_class_type_infoE could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll"

What am I missing?

The error suggests you are using the different dll version. Try using the same dll's that came with SFML.

I take it you are missing the C++ runtime libraries that GCC links against. Unlike MSVC, GCC uses runtimes that aren't supplied with Windows (obviously). You can however try to compile and link with -static-libgcc and/or -static-libstdc++ see here and see if that helps.

I figured out what might be wrong.

If you don't use the full file name of the file you are linking it will give you that error.

Remember to drop the [] since they aren't part of the name.
Change out the -s and -d depending on if you want Static Debug, Dynamic Debug, Static Release, Dynamic Release.
libsfml-graphics[-s][-d].a
libsfml-window[-s][-d].a
libsfml-audio[-s][-d].a
libsfml-network[-s][-d].a
libsfml-system[-s][-d].a
