Title: Missing dll
Post by: Puzzled on May 19, 2022, 09:34:27 am

After I reinstalled code blocks, before I went through the work of configuring SFML, I just ran a simple "Hello World" program and I keep getting the same failure:
                             ld.exe  cannot find -lstdc++-6.dll

That dll is nowhere to be found and I've tried re-installing Code Blocks several times, always resulting in the same error. I did a complete directory search from the command prompt for all dll files on my c drive (where Code Blocks resides) and not only doe that dll not exist, NO dll with a name that starts with '-' exists.
Any ideas, anyone?

Post a full rebuild log (https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F)

Have you read the information in the link I gave you?

My guess of the cause is User error.
Likely the OP placed an linker option in the library list.
But, it been over a year size I did serious use of normal CB Projects.
Been using CB custom makefile projects in recent months.

But, a full build log would clearly show the cause or at least what direction to head in finding the cause.
