I'm with a friend right now trying to install SFML and am having an abundance of problems. It seems we've both managed to get this error:
This application has failed to start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I'm not really sure what's going on here. I've scavenged for the .dll, used some linker options, but no luck. If anyone has had similar problems or knows what's going on, that would be great.
That, oddly enough, is the exact link I went too earlier. I tried all the solutions but to no avail. I'll just cross my fingers and do a fresh install again.
That has nothing to do with SFML. That's the GNU runtime library -- which for licensing purposes is now in a DLL. The problem is that the DLL is not in your PATH, so when you run the application, it cannot find the DLL, and so complains.
You'll find it in the 'bin' directory of your MinGW install. You can copy it to your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory and/or copy it to the same directory as your executable.
