Problem with SFML 2.0 libraries

[Qday]

Hi, im trying to learn SFML2.0 with this tutorial: https://cpp0x.pl/kursy/Kurs-SFML-2-x-C++/460 (its in polish) and i cant get to it to work. Tried with empty project and with SFML wizard build in CodeBlocks.

tried with SFML 2.0 GCC 4.7 MinGW (DW2) - 32-bit and SFML 2.0 GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 32-bit but still getting the same error message.

I have tried changing names of the libraries( deleting .a and "lib" but it doesnt work

screanshoots in the zip.

[Miguel Gimenez]

You are mixing 64 and 32-bit objects, or SFML was compiled with a different compiler.

Hi, im trying to learn SFML2.0 with this tutorial:
4 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 1 second(s))

You probably have to try this "GCC 13.1.0 MinGW (SEH) - 64-bit" from here  https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.6.1/  or check msys for  SFML2.
Versions you tried are totally outdated.

Thanks, it worked but now i have a diffrent problem maybe u can help me with this one to ?

How did you link this DLL? Directly or using *.a file?

[Qday]

How did you link this DLL? Directly or using *.a file?

I dont know the terminology but the dll is in the same folder as my .exe file

Post the current full re-build log.

I dont know the terminology but the dll is in the same folder as my .exe file

exe found dll, but dll did not provide required function. It means that you linked incorrect dll. Linking of the dll can be done in few manners for mingw gcc:
1. Static using interface lib with extension *.a
2. Static using dll by itself (from my experience  it is better)
3. Dynamic by call dll and function from the code.
Something is wrong in your case.

Is it what you were asking for?

[stahta01]

That is the build log I was asking for.

Are you now using an Compiler that is compatible with the library? What compiler are you using?
Because I did not see a build error. Are you having a run-time problem?

I just reinstaled my whole system. I'll try running SFML now. Gonna let you know how it goes later today.

Yea, so after formating my PC and doing everything from scratch im still having the same problem...

My dll files are next to .exe file of my program.


My program is building right but can't run... Error i've got is in the attachments.

So, you have no reason to believe the compiler and library are compatible with each other!
Do you just wish to waste your time because I no longer plan to waste my time, goodbye!
Edit: If you wish to stop using the non compatible library and instead use the MSys2 MinGW library I am willing to help; but, continuing to waste time will result in me deciding you are an Help Vampire or a newbie unable to learn!

Ofcourse I wish to "stop using the non compatible library" and im trying. For sure im not here to waste ur time. And im willing to learn.
Im searching for a solution right now.

[stahta01]

So, install SFML under the MSys2 environment you are using and change the CB project to use the library.

Which MSys2 environment you are using? I will try to create an CB Project.

Tim S.

[stahta01]

Zipped project attached.

Edit: I thought I created a SFML project in the recent past; and, I found it.

Tim S.

GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) / msys2-x86_64-20240113

I instaled the SFML from (https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-sfml?repo=mingw64)
using "pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-sfml" .

[stahta01]

So, download the demo project I zipped up and configure Code::Blocks to use MINGW64 MSys2 GCC and build and run the project.

It worked for me under UCRT64 with package mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-sfml installed.

Edit: You do know what an MSYS2 environment is, correct? Example: MINGW64, MINGW32, UCRT64, and etc.

Tim S.

I read some things and now I know what mysys enviroments are but still, I cant use them. Its hard for me to find any usefull documentary or tutorials on how to do it.

I tried just config CB to use mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-sfml libraries but i get an error that i cant make sens off. Im sorry if im being anoying but i just wanna play with SFML and write some code. And here I am trying to fix this f..  problem for 2 whole days.

Why did you add "-static-libgcc -static" these options?

Are you capable of learning? Why did you add all of the options incorrect options!

A list of clearly wrong options! NOTE: "-static-libgcc -static" likely is wrong; but, might be okay.

Are you unable of teaching ?? U honestly did not help me at all with my problem. Just pointing out how dumb I am. I just wanted to learn how to code and u are the worst person i couldve talked too.

I just istaled VS c++ followed one simple guide and made it all work. Very much not thank you.

[stahta01]

Unable to answer questions! I still have no idea what MSys2 environment you are using; but, maybe you have no idea.

So, A help vampire or extreme newbie! Goodbye.

[everSome]

If you are still using the ucrt environment of MSYS2, you can get their binary package of SFML via

pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-sfml

Doing so currently will get you SFML 2.6.1

That package name is for the UCRT64 environment.

Right you are! At one point in this thread, the originator showed a listing that indicated he was binding against the UCRT64 variant. However, he seems quite confused. That's why I prefaced my comment with "If you are still using ..."
