Missing .dll: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
« on: April 10, 2012, 09:11:05 pm »
Hello people!

First, I'd like to say that SFML is a great library. I really appriciate the work that Laurence and everyone else has put into it.

But I have a problem. I had been using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with SFML and it worked fine. But my computer crashed, and I've gone the route of Code::Blocks this time. My own code compiles fine and everything, but when I try to use SFML it doesn't work. I downloaded the SDK and followed the instructions on the tutorial, and the test program compiles fine. But when I try to run it, I get a missing .dll error message about what looks like a gcc dll.

I'm assuming that the issue comes from the SFML binaries being built from a different version of gcc than what comes out of the box with codeblocks. I downloaded the gcc 4.4 zip from the tutorial, but I'm not sure what to do from here.

I tried building from source, but I got linking errors.

I would appriciate any help you guys can offer.

Edit:
Gosh I feel dumb. I just found the dll in the 4.4 zip and copied it to the directory of my program. Runs without a hitch now. Sorry for the disruption :P

By the way, this forum is nicer than the allegro forums. Just sayin'  ;D
