Oh yeah, that's another bug I had. You would need to downgrade the version to SFML_240.

Something of a puzzle that it works with Arch, though, but not Ubuntu/Mint. It doesn't sound like Arch has that problem.

What problem doesn't Arch have, the missing symbol or the shared library one?

If it's the missing symbol one, I suspect the reason Arch doesn't have that issue is because it has a more updated package on its repo (AUR).

Ubuntu has CSFML 2.5.0, not CSFML 2.5.1, which makes everything much more of a pain. That's exactly why you are getting those missing symbol issues, I believe. I did speak to the bindbc team about it, and that was the conclusion that we came to. In order to fix the issue and not have to downgrade, you would have to manually compile CSFML 2.5.1, which is a pain.

I'm wondering, after downgrading, do you get the shared library issue that I am currently dealing with?

Thanks.

update: just set up a Manjaro vm and it seems to work, I guess I'll have no choice but to switch to Manjaro then if I want to use sfml

The earlier post in this thread implied there were no problems on Arch.

I'm not sure how to downgrade. I installed the package from the repos. I can't say a bug in the Ubuntu packaging would surprise me.
