Hey guys, so i'm trying to include SFML 2.0 in eclipse and i'm having difficulties. i tired following this forum post http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2246&sid=d66bad4f51a9782b7cf490e372b46b93 , but with the appropriate filenames and paths, but no luck. i'm getting the issue

Code: [Select]

ld.exe: cannot find -llibsfml-window but it's not just for window, it's for all of them. i've triple checked that my filenames are correct, and my paths, and i've made everything match the forum post.

If you have any idea, please help me out!

Thanks.

Shouldn't it be "-lsfml-window" instead of "-llibsfml-window"?

I know I am not really answering your question, but I have to ask...

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!?

Eclipse + CDT is freaking awful, one of the worst IDE combinations I have ever used. I am not a huge Eclipse fan to start with and only really use it when forced ( Google tools, such as App Engine and Android all force Eclipse on you ) and for Java it is "OK", but for C++ it is freaking terrible.

I mean, even if you hate Microsoft or arent on Windows, you still have a ton of superior options.

Code Blocks
Qt Creator ( very very good, btw )
NetBeans ( pre 7.1, 7.1 blows )

To name 3 freely available cross platform alternatives.

Yea I agree, eclipse is terrible for C++.

Code Blocks

Have used Code::Blocks for a while, but I didn't like it very much.

How so? Don't get me wrong, I think it looks interestening, I really just want to know some good points about it.

NetBeans looks like Eclipse with an uglier UI to me. But can't say I ever used it.

I have been using Eclipse/CDT for a while now, and I really have never missed anything, the only thing that's really annoying is the workspace management, but that's mostly because I put everything in the same workspace intially so now I have this huge mess of completely unrelated projects...

Did you use a nightly build?
Because the official versions are way behind...

Hmmm I've only used QtCreator when I created some Qt GUIs...
I think I didn't like it that much because one had/has(?) to write its own makefile. Nowadays I would just use CMake for that.

I've never really use Eclipse but mostly because 'nobody' likes it. So who am I to judge but since there are also better alternatives, why not use them?
If you like Eclipse keep using it.

Did the solution of texus help?

There is a pretty large community of nobodies though.

Yep. Last time I tried C::B was spring last year, and back then Code Completion was still too buggy to be actually usable (the completion box would randomly disappear, not appear at all or break down when macros were involved), I didn't like the looks of the editor and I had some issues with wxSmith too.
