code blocks having trouble with fmob and irrklang

[veeman28]

hi    im new with code blocks so hope im in the rite place for this

i downloaded code blocks about a week ago so i could learn c++
got SFML working on it and had a play around with that so i thought
i would have a go at playing with mp3's so i got irrklang but couldn't
get it working so i tried FMOD but couldent get that working either 

I get errors like:-

E:\c++ proj\sound1\main.cpp|53|undefined reference to `FMOD::System::getVersion(unsigned int*)@8'|

been tryin to figure out what i'm doing wrong for 3 days now but my head
has started hurting!!!! can anyone help???

thanks

E:\c++ proj\sound1\main.cpp|53|undefined reference to `FMOD::System::getVersion(unsigned int*)@8'|

So why don't you ask the FMOD people? This is a Code::Blocks forum.

Learn to post the compiler name and version when you ask for help in a forum thread.

FYI: I never heard of this library before today; but, just looking at a few links implies you NEED to use C instead of C++ to link the library correctly with the MinGW GCC compiler.
I suggest using the C example code.

Once you get that to work; find a programming site to teach you how to mix C and C++ code.

Did u add these libraries to linker settings? ( project->properties->build options->linker ). Check out wiki for an examples for other 3-rd party libs.

Be aware, taht all settings you make their are used for all projects that use the compiler.
This will most likely lead to problems sooner or later, and it will break compilage on other computers, that do not have the same global settings.

In most cases it's better to make the settings for your project only in "Project -> Build options -> [your project or a special target] -> Linker settings" .
