Trying to use with codeblocks about sfgui HOT 13 CLOSED

If you have this error that means you link agains dynamic sfgui, you have link against sfgui-s.lib and define SFGUI_STATIC in preprocesor. It's very similar to linking sfml staticly

Thanks. Now I am getting the error "undefined reference to 'sfg::SFGUI::SFGUI()'

from sfgui.

What is your verbose build output? https://www.sfml-dev.org/faq.php#tr-grl-verbose-ide

Tried to recreate the error from before (I didn't save and I closed down codeblocks, which may have reset some settings) and now I'm getting a new error. Apologies for being stupid

You aren't linking SFGUI (-lsfgui)

Also be careful with building stuff within OneDrive, sometimes the sync can lock stuff.

I've relinked everything (using this except for SFGUI) and this is the never verbose output.

from sfgui.

Personally, I'd strongly recommend to not mix static and dynamic libraries, unless you really know what you're doing. As such I'd recommend to link SFGUI dynamically (without -s suffix) as well.

There however still might be the chance, that SFML and SFGUI weren't built with the same compiler, which can lead to incompatibilities with the runtime.

I have no idea what I'm doing, maybe I should just move on :(. Thanks for the help though, I'll hopefully get it working some day

Hi there,

I recommend trusting in CMake. Also using all static version of SFML, SFGUI and all other external dependencies you have.

First of all, why static libraries (aka .lib)? Because dynamic library loading on Windows is a mess. Really. Here is the doc that "explains" it. Now, I come from Linux dev, and I happen to have started developing on windows to make sure I was not breaking this project with my CMake changes.... 😊. So I am a bit biased there. When you link against static libraries, the compiler makes sure all the code you need is in your target, no missing symbols at runtime!

Second, I would recommend using CMake's CodeBlock generator. It should generate a usable project in your build directory... but you can also use CMake directly to build with cmale --build <build_dir>. For example, on my Windows box I only have Visual Studio 15 2017, I use CMake generator to configure my project (I make sure all my projects use the same generator BTW). And then, I just use the build command above to compile. I haven't opened VS once.

Now you last error seems to be due to incompatible ABIs. I would try upgrading to latest version of SFGUI and SFML (0.4.0 and 2.5.1) and try again.

Ok, so I've done some reinstalling.

1. I uninstalled codeblocks-mingw (I was having some issues with the compiler included in that version)
2. I installed mingw on it's on and added it's bin directory to the path.
3. I reinstalled the basic codeblocks setup.
4. I removed my previous SFML version.
5. I downloaded the latest source code for SFML and built it statically.
6. I downloaded the latest source code for SFGUI and build it statically.
7. I followed the steps here to try and use sfml on codeblocks.

The following is an image of my linker settings and the error message I get when I compile my SFML program

from sfgui.

In the linker settings you're not linking SFGUI.

from sfgui.

@eXpl0it3r I know, I uninstalled everything to start new and now I'm currently trying to get SFML working before SFGUI. I'll probably hop over to the SFML forums if this isn't the place to fix a (hopefully) quick SFML error.

Looks like you added C:\SFML\lib\sfml-xyz-s.a to the general project settings, but also added -lsfml-xyz to the Release specific project settings.

If you want the dependencies listed in the general project settings, you need to make sure, that they are appended to the target specific project settings.
