CodeBlocks SFML audio library will not work

I've been following some youtube tutorials for SFML in codeblocks, and we just reached audio. Up until this point, I've only used the graphics aspect but had no issues. Though for audio, I've tried switching from using .ogg to .wav files and back in my code and played around with everything for a while but the program just won't work. I don't really understand how the libraries work (I'm new if that isn't apparent) but I have looked through the lib file of sfml and have every file there in my linker settings, so I don't understand why I continue to get errors. Anyways I am given a ton of errors and would like to simply use the audio part of SFML. Here's all the data you need to crack the case:

Actual Code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(){

    sf::Vector2i screenDimensions(800,600);

    sf::RenderWindow Window;
    Window.create(sf::VideoMode(screenDimensions.x, screenDimensions.y), "A Window");

    sf::Clock clock;

    sf::SoundBuffer soundBuffer;
    sf::Sound sound;

    if(!soundBuffer.loadFromFile("punch.ogg")){
        std::cout << "Can't find audio file" << std::endl;
    }

    sound.setBuffer(soundBuffer);

    float moveSpeed = 10000.0f;

    while(Window.isOpen()){

        clock.restart();
        sf::Event Event;
        while(Window.pollEvent(Event)){

            switch(Event.type){
            case sf::Event::Closed:
                Window.close();
                break;
            case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
                if(Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape){
                    Window.close();
                }
                if(Event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::P){
                    sound.play();
                }
                break;
            }
        }

        Window.display();
        Window.clear();
        }
}

Linker Settings: (I've tried moving the order around a ton yet it doesn't help)

sfml-audio-s-d
sfml-network-s-d
sfml-graphics-s-d
sfml-window-s-d
sfml-system-s-d
flac
ogg
vorbis
vorbisenc
vorbisfile
openal32
jpeg
freetype
ws2_32
gdi32
opengl32
winmm

And lastly, all of the errors:

Solution

  • The audio library is not being linked to. That's what an undefined reference error means. So you should probably check if your project file is linking to the static lib file(.a) exist in your path.

    Another thing is that you don't need any of the libraries you currently have in your linker settings EXCEPT for the SFML libs, because they are already linked into the SFML static lib file. Not true in 2.3, but true in 2.1
