Simple tutorial SFML code crashes on Ubuntu 16.04 - c++

Question

So I just installed manually SFML 2.4.2 library and wanted to compile example code from first tutorial which is:
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main() {
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
while (window.isOpen()) {
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
window.clear();
window.draw(shape);
window.display();
}
return 0;
}
Everything compiles with g++ 5.4.0 and clang++ 3.8.0 on Ubuntu 16.04, but when I'm trying to run the program, it shows a black window for 1 second and outputs this to the terminal:
*** Error in `./main': free(): invalid pointer: 0x000000000155cb08 ***

Aborted (core dumped)
I tried installing the newest nvidia drivers and restarting the system, no luck with this one. Do I lack some dependencies?
EDIT:
I tried debugging with GDB and this is the backtrace I got:

Answer 1

So the answer should probably be: build SFML 2.4.2 yourself. But using my self-built SFML also produces errors while compiling simple SFML example code, this time during linking stage due to some known bug in Ubuntu. There's a simple fix though:
Download the SFML source code. Unpack it. Navigate to the root directory of the unzipped source code.
vim ./SFML/src/SFML/Graphics/CMakeLists.txt
Find the line on about line 149 -ish... yours may be different, since this is line 149 AFTER I made changes... which reads:
149 # ImageLoader.cpp must be compiled with the -fno-strict-aliasing
150 # when gcc is used; otherwise saving PNGs may crash in stb_image_write
151 if(SFML_COMPILER_GCC)
152 set_source_files_properties(${SRCROOT}/ImageLoader.cpp PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS -fno-strict-aliasing)
153 endif()
Add the following lines BELOW
156 if(SFML_COMPILER_GCC AND BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
157 message(WARNING "Applying workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-5/+bug/1568899")
158 list(APPEND GRAPHICS_EXT_LIBS "-lgcc_s -lgcc")
159 endif()
Then cd to root dir of unpacked source
cmake .
make all
sudo make install
which I found on the SFML forums: http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=20638.0.
There's also SFML 2.3 if you don't care about getting the latest build in Ubuntu repositories which you can install with apt-get.
