    Trouble Installing/Compiling SFML with C++

    SOLVED: See third post

    I'm on my second programming language, and I decided I wanted to make a game or music player. I chose SFML, merely because it was more feature-rich. I tried using "sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev", and it worked. I went to compile a program, and it gave me:
    Code:
    make test
    g++     test.cpp   -o test
    /tmp/cc5DhUEp.o: In function `main':
    test.cpp:(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to `sf::String::String(char const*, std::locale const&)'

    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    I don't think it was installed to a non-standard directory, because I used apt-get. If it was, where was it installed to, and how can I point the compiler there?
    I tried the instructions on this site: "http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=9808.0", but I still received the same errors. What, exactly, is wrong, and how can I fix it?

    Re: Trouble Installing/Compiling SFML with C++

    Regardless of the installation directory you will likely need to specify the library/libraries to be linked on the g++ command line. I'm not familiar with SFML but it looks like it will be something like

    Code:
    g++ test.cpp -o test -lsfml-graphics
    
    Non-standard install directories would require a library path specification like -L /path/to/libdir as well.

    to link the libsfml-graphics library. There may be additional requirements e.g. other libsfml-* libraries or lower-level libraries of the underlying toolkit(s) such as GL.

    Re: Trouble Installing/Compiling SFML with C++

    That took away most of my errors. However, I got more cryptic errors.
    Code:
    /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc25Iy5w.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN2sf9VideoModeC1Ejjj'//usr/local/lib/libsfml-window.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    I tried adding "-lsfml-window" and got a similar error. I repeated.
    Eventually, I tried "g++ test.cpp -o test -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system" and it worked. Thank you!
