Library Locations - Linux

I have an SFML application I would like to compile it for Windows from Linux. Up until now, I've compiled with g++ and -lsmfl-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

Now I've installed g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 and I have to compile with '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++'

Now it says SFML/.../...hpp: No such file or directory

I read that I need to give it the location of the .so files of the library.

I've never seen those, where are those typically? SFML is installed in /usr/local/include/SFML

-L'/location???'

L'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'

L provides the search directory where the .so files are located. The SFML .so files just happen to be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Then you use your library flags normally

-lsfml-...

  • -I: path to header file *.h, *.hpp (i upper)
  • -L: path to library (*.so *.a)

  • -l: library name (L lower)

    g++ -I /path/to/header -lmylib -L /path/to/library

Now it says SFML/.../...hpp: No such file or directory

compile error because header file not found. fix it first.
