I tried installing sfml on windows in codeblocks using c++ by following the tutorial in their website and also by following tutorials on the web but even after all that it doesnt work and it gives out this error:
||=== Build: Debug in dasg (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lsfml-graphics-s|
ld.exe||cannot find -lsfml-window-s|
ld.exe||cannot find -lsfml-system-s|
ld.exe||cannot find -lfreetype|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 5 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
In my compiler settings i have in the #define tab writen "SFML_STATIC"
In the linker setting i have the following link libraries
sfml-graphics-s
sfml-window-s
sfml-system-s
opengl32
freetype
gdi32
winmm
In the search directories in the compiler sub tab i have the path to my sfml/include folder and in the linker subfolder I have the path to my sfml/lib
Did i do something wrong or did i forget something?
First check do you have a static or dynamic version of your library.
In your library path check the files in /lib folder. if they have extension .so for example libsfml-graphics.so .
Go with this tutorial -> https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/start-cb.php

I found a code in internet in order to read the serial number from a USB pen drive. It uses the windows API. I use MINGW, compiler on Codeblocks ide.
There are two API:
CoUninitialize();
and
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WbemLocator, 0,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *) &pLoc);
that are defined on comebaseapi.h,that I included, but the compiler cannot find the reference :

I found on stackoverflow that I have to link ole32.dll, but Codeblocks allow me to link only .lib, so I search for ole32.lib, I copied it and pasted in the same folder of the project and I linked it, but than it gives me the follow error:
||=== Build: Debug in Dongle (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lOle32.Lib|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
It cannot find the library.
Someone can help me
I'm trying to compile my code for a 32 bit system using CodeBlock default MinGW compiler adding the -m32 parameter, but I'm getting a lot of errors:

EDIT: I fixed
Most builds of mingw.org and mingw-w64 only support either 32-bit or 64-bit. There are entirely separate toolchain distributions for 32-bit target than for 64-bit target.
You can have two toolchains installed side by side, but not have one toolchain with target switches.
(I have heard of someone who did do a multi-target single toolchain distro of mingw-w64 but chances are that is not what you have got installed already).
It sounds like you have only installed a 64-bit target version. You could look into also installing a 32-bit target toolchain of mingw-w64.
I just tried to setup freeglut in my codeblocks 20 64-bit pre-packaged mingw-gnu-compiler, following popular youtube tutorials,
I created the glut project in codeblocks, and tried to compile, it gives error
||=== Build: Debug in SnakeGame (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|

What's wrong?
I have installed code blocks on Windows 10, before that I installed GCC Cygwin compiler.
In Settings > Toolchain executables section I set up C compiler, C++ compiler,
linker to dynamic libs to use gcc.exe, the compiler's directory is set as C:\cygwin64.
I tried to run a dummy hello world program to make sure it works but got the following error:
||=== Build: Debug in dummy2 (compiler: Cygwin GCC) ===|
\Users\abc\OneDrive\ﾐﾐｸﾐｹ ﾑath\dummy2\main.c"||No such file or directory|
||error: no input files|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
I used to use min gw compiler and it worked fine, but once I switched to cygwin it started to throw errors.
It looks like this part of the file directory is garbled, cant figure out why.

Please let me know what can be a problem here.
Cheers.
I have installed mingw-w64 to have a 64-bits compiler. I used Code Blocks as IDE and i had before a 32 bits mingw which is working very well. My OS is windows 8.1.
I have followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nsjGxy1w0U
And the problem I have is this :
||=== Build: Release in uvgen (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler (x64)) ===|
F:\Document\c++\uvgen\main.cpp|11|fatal error: GL/glut.h: No such file
or directory| ||=== Build failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0
minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
I put ( the files opengl, glut and glu from my 32bit-compiler):
glut32.dll and opengl32.dll in mingw64/bin
GL/glut.h and others in mingw64/include
and the libs in mingw64/lib
But my 64bits compiler don't find them :(
Thank you for helping me.
The error message indicates that mingw cannot find GL/glut.h. For you compiler
to find it you either specify an include path -L PATH_TO/GL/glut.h on the compile command or
by placing the files in the default include paths.
You can dump the default include paths with g++ -E -x c++ - -v
I got that from Dump include paths from g++.
If that doesn't help search for how to dump default include paths in mingw. You can
always use -L option.
