Cannot find -lfreetype (SFML static linking)
I'm trying to statically link SFML, which requires linking all other dependencies. On the SFML tutorial page it states that all dependencies are provided along side it, but I genuinly couldn't figure out any way to link them. Other dependencies seem to work just fine (or they just don't produce linker errors yet). I also tried manually downloading freetype, building it, but that just left me in a bigger mess of files, and as a beginner, I really can't follow anything what's going on. My "Link libraries" look like this:
And I tried putting the directory of the header files (I could only find the header files, nothing else, no .a or .so files, not sure if that's the problem) in various places in the search directories.
Closest thing to my problem I found was this, but I really couldn't get anything out of this...
P.S. I'm on Windows, using Code::Blocks, GCC 7.3.0, custom built SFML with CMake for my compiler aswell. Unless I missed something in tutorials, I don't think I missed anything. Without static linking, everything worked fine. I didn't forget SFML_STATIC in #defines either. I don't know what else to add, if there is something missing, please tell me.
I'm at a loss for a couple of days here, any help would be appreciated, even if it's some harsh critique because of missing a simple detail :P
The solution to this specific problem for me was simply rebuilding SFML with CMake again, because for some reason the install path (Program Files x86\SFML\..) wasn't actually created, and that's where all the .a files were. Including those in the search directories fixed the cannot find -lfreetype problem.
