[ThreeDumps]

Hello!

I've problem. I've big mess in my head now.

I make projekt on linux and i want to static linking SFML 1.6. How to get in easiest way static libs?

I donwload from yours page SFML full SDK, and... ? I need to compile SFML? Or is way to make from *.so static lib *.a ?

//
ok, i compile SFML, and have *.a files.
I have linker errors, that comand is good ?

g++ -static main.o -L/home/akwes/libs/SFML-1.6/lib -lsfml-graphics-s -lsfml-window-s -lsfml-system-s

When you statically link SFML, you must also link all its dependencies (the full list can be found in the tutorials, or on the wiki).

But static linking doesn't make sense on Linux, don't do it.

Hm... Ok.

So I should give .so with ELF? Regular user should know where he should copy .so? Or it's necessary to make install script or although readme?

I don't know much about distribute programs for linux

You can build your executable so that it knows the relative path to the SFML libraries. Search "rpath" to find out more about this option.
