Linking SFML in Codelite, cannot find libraries - c++

Question

I'm trying to link SFML2.3.1 in Codelite 9.1.3. I'm using Windows 10, 64 bit. I did everything according to this tutorial http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=18820.0. I did the Include Paths, the Library Paths, entered the libraries including the dependencies in the correct order. A lot of other people have asked similar questions and I've tried all the solutions offered there-Linking SFML in CodeLite - and several others. Here's the error I get:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j8 SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f Makefile

And it repeats those same last four lines for each library (skipping incompatible - cannot find). Then after all that it says this:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [Debug/CodeLiteProject] Error 1
CodeLiteProject.mk:78: recipe for target 'Debug/CodeLiteProject' failed
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/Benjamin/Documents/sfml/CodeLiteProject'
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
All I've ever really done with a compiler before is hit "Build and Run", so I really appreciate any help. Also, I've tried every different variation of ways of entering the libraries (-l*, *-s, *-s-d, *.lib, *.a, etc.)

This line:
C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/5.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: skipping incompatible C:/SFML-2.3.1/lib/libsfml-graphics-s.a when searching for -lsfml-graphics-s
This error usually means that you have an arch differences, i.e. your code is compiled as a 64 bit application, while the SFML libraries are built as 32 bit library.
Try using SFML libraries that are built with a 64 bit compiler (preferably using the same compiler as the one you are using - TDM-GCC 64 bit/v5.1)

Answer 2

It doesn't appear that you're linking the debug SFML libs, yet the project is being built in Debug mode. Append "-d" to the end of the SFML lib names when building in Debug, e.g.:
/TDM-GCC-64/bin/g++.exe -o ./Debug/CodeLiteProject #"CodeLiteProject.txt" -L. -LC:/SFML-2.3.1/lib -lsfml-graphics-s-d -lsfml-window-s-d -lsfml-system-s-d -lsfml-audio-s-d -lsfml-network-s-d ...
