Title: VS2012 Linker(DLL) Error
Post by: MetalCoder on January 24, 2013, 10:52:31 pm

Hello,

I am having trouble when trying to run the simpe SFML program. I'm using Visual Studio C++ 2012 Express. SFML is 1.6, I've added the correct libraries to the correct directories. When I build its fine and I get no errors, but when I try to run it, I get this. "sfml-system-d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file."(without quotes) What does this mean? I've put the DLLs in the project folder.

the pdb file is a microsoft debug tool.  It has nothing to do with SFML.

It's usually also just a warning, which can be safely ignored (using the search function would've answered this too).
Besides that you should also read this (https://github.com/SFML/SFML/wiki/FAQ#wiki-grl-version).

Googling "Cannot find or open the PDB file" gives many answers. Generally, searching a specific error/warning message in Google gives relevant results instantly.

I've figured out my problem. I had the DLLs in the wrong folder. I'm also using 2.0 now.
