Hello sirs and madams.

I am having a bit of an issue with C::B and Allegro 5. As it stands right now, I can write and execute games with ease, but am unable to launch the game directly from the release and/or debug .exe files that are created upon building the application.

Upon building the application, a file is created under my bin/release directory, entitled "test.exe". Should I launch this file, I receive the following error message: "The procedure entry point __gx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll."

In the past I have used Dev C++ as my primary IDE, and it has built Allegro 5 with ease; indeed, I would simply execute its game.exe file, and there you have it. This is not the case with C::B it seems. I am fairly new to C::B, so I am unfamiliar with its mannerisms. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response. (My compiler is MinGW.)

I attempted to add the file to my system32 as well as the directory where my builds were being stored, but both returned the same error. Interestingly enough, both times also caused the error to occur whilst testing it in the IDE itself. As a result, I purged the files.

Thus leaving me with options 2 and 4 of your given advice. However, I am quite new to C::B and am unfamiliar with it, so I am unaware as to how that is done. Any advice?

Care that latest C::B uses GCC-TDM 4.7.1

It differs from vanilla GCC in exactly that, it defaults to linking statically libstdc++...usually throws an error if you pass the compiler flag -static-listdc++ as imentioned in Allegro5 wiki tutorial. (see you other thread).

which linker options are you passing to in C::B project?

pkrcel: Under "other linker options", I am passing the following...
`pkg-config --cflags --libs allegro allegro_acodec allegro_audio allegro_color allegro_dialog allegro_font allegro_image allegro_main allegro_memfile allegro_primitives allegro_ttf` `pkg-config libxml++-2.6 --cflags --libs` `pkg-config -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++`

Edgar Reynaldo: I believe I downloaded the newest versions. I have attached an image file of what gcc -v replies with.

I am a complete newbie here with linking files and whatnot.
How could I do that?

A little weird, since you are on windows, and the version of GCC you have is indeed TDM-GGC 4.7.1 (64bit) which comes bundled with latest C::B (since it is the one used to BUILD C::B itself, onlyit's 32bit)

Could you check the output of "pkg-config -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" on your command line please?

Yes, type it in.

Right click on the command line window for copy paste options.

Yep, so the output is not passed to g++. As expected, I didn't know there was pkg-config for cmd.exe

Kidding aside, could you please make sure in the Compiler Settings -> Global Compiler Settings -> Other Settings Tab you have the Compiler Logging field set to "full command line". (Default in latest C::B)

Then please rebuld your project, and copy the content of the "output" window in a text file you attach here. I'll have a look at how the compiler is invoked.

Thanks

Uh...doesn't it get appended for each and every build? I was afraid of a big file.

Which makes a lot more sense...shame on me.

I already passed through building in command line, so I use my IDE and it just does everything all right. It also has neat GDB front-end, really convenient.
