Title: Linking Error
Post by: Hazique35 on March 16, 2013, 04:38:24 pm

Ive only started SFML for a little while, and ive been doing C++ for a little while. Ive been trying to get this silly progrm to work! I cant get the window to open.  I basically just retyped the source code:

#include <SFML\Window.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML test");

        bool Running = true;

        while (Running)
        {
                App.Display();
        }
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Judging by the errors, I didnt configure something correctly:

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall sf::Window::~Window(void)" (??1Window@sf@@UAE@XZ) referenced in function "int __cdecl t_main(void)" (?t_main@@YAHXZ)
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall sf::Window::Display(void)" (?Display@Window@sf@@QAEXXZ) referenced in function "int __cdecl t_main(void)" (?t_main@@YAHXZ)

1>c:\users\haziqu\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\SFML\Debug\SFML.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals

I would really appreciate it if someone just identified something Im doing wrong. Im using VS 2010.

Thanks

You didn't link to SFML.

More specifically, to sfml-window and sfml-main.

And can you please edit your message to give it a more relevant title? Everyone here needs help...

I did the whole SFML set up, I watched a youtube video and made sure everything was correct. What do you mean by SFML main?

The tutorial shows how to link to the sfml-system library. You must do the same with sfml-main and sfml-window.

Ok, I downloaded the files, except i downloaded version 2.0. Everything works except this one error:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-graphics.lib'

this is the only file that cannot be found. I think it might have to do with the '-s' and '-s-d' suffixes and that 'STATIC_MAIN' thingy that can be put in the preprocessor section. The thing that is confusing me is the Debug and Release stuff, I dont know which files need which suffix. Or whether or not they even need one. This is the only problem left, and it is really puzzling me.
Any Ideas?

Thanks
