SFML 2.4.0
The compiler versions have to match 100%!
Here are links to the specific MinGW compiler versions used to build the provided packages:
On Windows, choosing 32 or 64-bit libraries should be based on which platform you want to compile for, not which OS you have. Indeed, you can perfectly compile and run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit Windows. So you'll most likely want to target 32-bit platforms, to have the largest possible audience. Choose 64-bit packages only if you have good reasons.
| Compiler | 32-bit | 64-bit |
|---|---|---|
| Visual C++ 11 (2012) | 17.6 MB | 19.5 MB |
| Visual C++ 12 (2013) | 17.0 MB | 18.8 MB |
| Visual C++ 14 (2015) | 16.9 MB | 18.6 MB |
| GCC 4.9.2 TDM (SJLJ) | 14.5 MB | 16.7 MB |
| GCC 6.1.0 MinGW | 16.1 MB | 17.1 MB |
On Linux, if you have a 64-bit OS then you have the 64-bit toolchain installed by default. Compiling for 32-bit is possible, but you have to install specific packages and/or use specific compiler options to do so. So downloading the 64-bit libraries is the easiest solution if you're on a 64-bit Linux.
If you require a 32-bit build of SFML you'll have to build it yourself.
