I tried to link to the SFML library with a QTCreator project under windows. And it didn't work.
QTCreator doesn't allow me to select .dll files, the wizard only accepts .lib.
So this is what i did:
- I downloaded SFML 1.6 for MinGW and put it in the project folder under /lib.
- I have MinGW installed and selected it as my compiler/builder in the project settings.
- I tried building the program with both writing down the relative path to the dll, and by using -L(path to /lib) -lmylib... with the first one, it said it didn't find sfml-window.dll, with the second one, it didn't find sfml-graphics.dll when trying to run the exe.
I am guessing, i am doing something very simple very wrong. Here are the relevant files:
