I really need help with installing SFML to Code::Block.
I tried a lot of tutorials and nothing work right.
Finally I am able to compile some code (there is no problem with code, I found it on internet for testing) and everything seems ok. No errors and no warnings. But I can't run my code. The error is that program can't see the sfml-...-.dll file. But it show full path to the file, so I don't know, why it is not able to read it or use it.
Sorry, I would like to add the error here, but now it shows only in my language (which is not english) but previous state was similar error during compiling the code and code::blocks was saying that: cannot find -lsfml-graphics-d. But I certainly had the paths set and the files in the right folders. I tried several tutorials and every tutorial was quite different. So I have feeling I tried everything.
Thank you very much for answers.

thanks for helping. I still don't know, where mistake was, but I found totally different advice/tutorial. And it worked. Maybe it is because sfml-graphics etc was in different order than in others tutorial (which is strange) but it worked. Here is the way which worked for me: https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=13304.msg93473#msg93473.

I have recently started using r markdown and I am having issues with installing pandoc-crossref in window.
I have tried approaching friends on getting the set-up but to no avail. I have tried searching on the web but couldn't find anything useful. I tried following the directions here text to no avail. I will be grateful if anyone knows where i can get the set up and how to go about installing it.
You don't give any information about what errors you receive, so it is hard to provide useful help. This being said...
Trying to guess what your problem is. It is likely that you are getting the error could not find executable pandoc-crossref when trying to compile. Assuming that that is the case, your problem might be the following. Notice that pandoc-crossref.exe is not an installer, but an executable, so double clicking on it in an attempt to install it will do nothing except bring up a terminal for an instant. Is that what you have done? Where did you place it?
Leaving pandoc-crossref.exe e.g. in your downloads folder or on your Desktop would give the could not find executable pandoc-crossref error when trying to compile, because the executable needs to be in your $PATH, or pandoc will not be able to find it and run it.
A possible solution. If my guesses above are correct, you might be able to solve your problem by placing pandoc-crossref.exe inside your pandoc program folder, where your pandoc.exe file is, which is by default in:
C:\Program Files\Pandoc\
So try to place pandoc-crossref.exe in that folder and see if it works.
If this does not help. Say exactly what it is that you tried to do, what errors you encountered, and maybe include a screenshot.
I have downloaded gorilla-audio source code to use it in my software, but when I use the external library from OpenAL (in gorilla-audio, the OpenAL32.lib) the project compiles with no errors or anything, but it doesn't run normally, I still haven't implemented anything from gorilla sound, just wanted to check that after adding the library it would still work the same before editing anything, but it just doesn't, I have linked everything and used the correct version of .lib but when I run the project it says:
The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
What should I do, I've googled that but I'm just scared to download random things, plus I don't even know where should I put it.
Any help guys,
Thanks ^_^
Please help. I am using Code Blocks, and I have just built a project and now when I try to run the ".exe" it says this message "The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer...this problem." I have tried to download those .dlls and extract them into the location where the ".exe" is stored and then tried running the program again but it crashes. I have no idea what to do anymore.
Can anyone give me steps to solving this using Code Blocks(IDE. that I use)? Please.
Another note that I'd like to add is that I am learning C++ and I do not understand complicated lingo like "linker", "links", and etcetera. I want this application to be stand-alone if possible but I have searched around about this issue and people are saying to place the related .dlls from the bin of minGW where your executable is but then they say that there is licensing issues. I am getting confused about this and I just want a simple fix, I don't want any licensing issues.
Can you explain it from Code Blocks point of view? Because that's the program that I am using, and some steps to fix it would be really nice.
Note 3: People are also saying to use something like "-static-libgcc" but I have no idea what to do with that.
The libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in the compiler's bin directory.
You can add this directory to your PATH environment variable for runtime linking, or you can avoid the problem by adding -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ to your compiler flags.
From this question's answer, it seems as though this should be simple: How do you include LuaPlus into your project?
This is absolutely ridiculous though. It is so dumb that you have to build this (along with such an awful website), but there are absolutely no tutorials on this either. Horrible documentation on getting it installed.
I read something about building it using the "jam" stuff, but that is alien lingo to me and sounds asinine. Why not just make this simple? Most libraries just let you download them straight up, extract, link, and wallah! I've built libraries before, and it was extremely simple and easy.
Anyway, I successfully built the library in Code::Blocks, but that isn't the problem. The problem is it only builds the library. Where are the header files to add to the include directory?
I tried messing around, but I had errors just dumping what I thought the header files were into a directory and including it.
I read online, people who use Visual Studio to build don't have a problem, and it creates all the header files. The only thing that results from my Code::Blocks build is the library file.
This is a PITA just to get to use, and I've already been at it 2 hours and the only way I can work with it is if I include the entire source in my project (which is just ridiculous).
edit2: Ergh! LuaPlus edits Lua itself, so you have to remove your link to Lua. LuaPlus has Lua in it. So F***ing ridiculous. Just let people download the library and just link simply for god's sake. A huge middle finger to needlessly complicated crap.
edit: Nevermind, this isn't the correct answer. Now I'm getting all kinds of stupid errors.
I guess the first time I copied over all the header files, I did something wrong because now it works just as it should.
For anyone interested, you just copy/paste all of the header files (shown here
Minus LuaPlusAll.cpp, src/lua.c, and src/luac.c
Then paste them in your search directory
lib/libLuaPlus.a
include/[paste here]
Link the library & include directory, tell Code::Blocks to use "libLuaPlus" and wallah!
No idea why I had problems with this. Must have been following someone's bad directions (causing me to mess up somewhere).
I've been following the Code Blocks installation tutorial for SFML: http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-cb.php
I did everything in the tutorial, but when I compile, I get the error saying:
"The program can't start because sfml-system.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I've been scouring Google for solutions, but nothing has worked so far. Stuff I've tried:
-Moving the sfml-system.dll into the same directory as my .exe
-Changing the "debug" linker options to static and dynamic.
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

First, your link is for 1.6. The most recent version is 2, which might be better. (in terms of organization/ability etc - more time of improvements added to it in theory).
In the download of SFML I have had, the DLL's are in the SFML/bin folder, or something similar. When I have gotten this error before, it was when I was trying to link dynamically to them and the DLL was not, as you said, in the directory.
Ah. Assuming the directory is not the problem (you could try to put it right next to it just to be sure), looking at the tuturial in question says that you need to also define SFML_DYNAMIC. For some reason I feel like it said if you use gcc this did not make a difference, but that was probably the 2 tuturial (which might have different listed version of gcc), so I would try that. (near the bottom of the page).
