I managed to build it with Cmake. I'm using static libraries instead of dynamic libraries.
I'm getting bunch of linking errors right now.
What I did:
- Built SFML in Multi-Threaded runtime library setting with VS 2012
- Created a new project and set the additional include and library directories
- put sfml-graphics-s.lib and sfml-window-s.lib in the additional dependencies (release)
- put sfml-graphics-s-d.lib and sfml-window-s-d.lib in the additional dependencies (debug)
- defined SFML_STATIC
- set the Runtime Library to Multi-Threaded
