(Win64) Incompatible type for argument 3 of 'sfRenderTexture_createWithSettings'

[brus-fabrika]

When building basic_window example (Win10 64bit) there is a compilation error:

Graphics_wrap.c: In function '_wrap_sfRenderTexture_createWithSettings_graphics_0e245b41439e98a6':
Graphics_wrap.c:4902:76: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'sfRenderTexture_createWithSettings'

sfRenderTexture_createWithSettings in CSFML RenderTexture.h is indeed declared as accepting value object sfContextSettings, not the const pointer.

Update to the above - after manual update of the Graphics_wrap.c to pass the correct argument to underlying function sfRenderTexture_createWithSettings, I've got the linker errors:

C:\Program Files\Go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64\link.exe: running gcc failed: exit status 1

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I do believe this is neither the compiler nor the CSFML lib versions issues, because I was able to build and run corresponding C version of the basic example correctly.

Hey!
Just ran a fresh install as I had formatted my computer since then, and it worked just fine for me 😕
Could you tell me what your setup is? With versions and so on, so I can investigate, hopefully recreating the same bug in the same conditions!

I personnally ran :

• CSFML 2.5.1 64 bits
• GCC x86_64-13.2.0-release-win32-seh-ucrt-rt_v11-rev0
• Ran the build.bat script in the example's folder, after adjusting the CSFML_PATH and adding gcc to my system Path

If you don't run the bat script, please make sure :

• You have properly set CGO_ENABLED, CGO_CFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS environment variables
• You have copied the CSFML 64 bits DLL next to your exe

@Telroshan hello!

After your comment I decided to make a fresh re-install of the building setup from the beginning and it just went fully fine at the end :) . My mistake was in CSFML version mismatch, somehow first time I downloaded 2.5 version, not the 2.5.1. With the latter it compiles and builds with no errors (except of deprecation warnings).

I will close the issue.

Thank you!

Perfect, I'm glad it's working, thanks for letting me know!
