I Can't compile c with SFML library by gcc-CodePudding

so first there is a file named main.cpp and I want to compile it using this: g -o sfml_example main.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

btw this is the code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main() {
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML Window");
    while (window.isOpen()) {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
        window.clear();
        window.display();
    }
    return 0;
}

and when I tried to compile it, it just said this: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-graphics: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-window: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-system: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I also try this input: g -v -o sfml_example main.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

and it prints out this output:

I have tried to located where is the lsfml files, and I found it at /lib64 Note: I'm using Fedora Linux Workspace Version 39

So, please any people that can find the solution how to succeded to compile the code would send the solutions. Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

I just try on myself, reinstall the package, just install the non-C packages and then tried to run this command: g sfml.cpp -o prog -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system and it's work!

I Just followed this guy instructions: https://youtu.be/5aWMIpRiuww?si=EHxkKw0nxYdc18D1

CodePudding user response：

I have never used fedora, but running a Docker image of fedora:latest, I did just the following steps on a bare, new Fedora installation and it compiles and links fine.

Start Docker image of fedora:

docker run -it -v "$(pwd)":/work fedora:latest

Inside fedora container:

sudo dnf install g   pkg-config SFML-devel
cd /work
g   main.cpp $(pkg-config --libs --cflags sfml-all) -o program

If your system doesn't compile with those steps, I would remove and reinstall those three packages.
