Problem with SFML 2.0 libraries

[stahta01]

Zipped project attached.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ..."
