make fail @ linking Cxx executable CustomWidget about sfgui HOT 6 CLOSED

Using the magic of Google, would've brought you to multiple threads on the SFML forum telling you that it is a bug in GCC. At best you update GCC or your distro if GCC is outdated for your distro. 😉

hmm, I have gcc7 installed, and Im still get this error. Turning off examples allows me to install the sfgui.
I assume theres no problems running without the examples, although, it would be nice do figure this out.

If you have gcc7 installed, make sure you're actually using gcc7 and its libraries. From the error you can see that this is not the case.

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libgcc.a

hmm, Ive ran it again, after a reboot and actually linking to gcc7, and it is definitely using gcc7, but stil I get the same error, this time with /usr/bin/ld: CustomWidget: hidden symbol `__cpu_model' in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/libgcc.a(cpuinfo.o) is referenced by DSO
instead of

Tried with gcc 6, and same error:

Aww, shit, It was an issue with SFML, rebuilding SFML fixed this issue. I can now make and make install just fine.
