My hunch would be that you either have the wrong compiler (see below) or you haven't defined the library directory as mentioned in the linked tutorial.

In Release mode, similar errors are produced. When trying to compile I get the following linker errors cannot find -lfreetype I also added the opengl32, freetype, winmm and gdi32 link libs, before their respective sfml link libs. I tried to change to static linking, changing the names of the linker libs with the -s or -s-d suffix, and adding the define SMFL_STATIC option to global (release and debug) options. dll files to the same dir as the produced executable file (produced from compilation of my C++ code). It works fine for dynamic linking, but requires me to copy the.

Created a new codeblocks project (console application) and followed the instructions to set the compiler and linker options.

Extracted the zip file (SFML) to my home directory.

Downloaded the latest version of SFML (32bit MINGW version).

Downloaded the latest version of CodeBlocks with MINGW integration.

Again I have virtually no idea how the two different methods work in detail, I just know that if I ship a static linked binary to another Windows 10 user it is much more likely to 'just work' on their system. I am trying to link this project with static linking, not dynamic linking. I am having difficulty trying to compile and link a SFML project on a Windows 10 system with the CodeBlocks IDE.

I am by no means a Windows developer and my understanding of how to write, compile and link C++ code on a Windows system is limited to say the least. My advance appologies for being hopeless at Windows development.
