5 times the problem is a "reference to a not solved extern symbol  "
with following code following:

Visual Studio 13 doesn't exist. It's either VS 12 or VS 2013 (yeah I know it's confusing - thank Microsoft). ;)

For VS 2013 there aren't any precompiled libraries, thus have you built SFML on your own?

This is the most confusing thing I've ever seen ;D

Visual Studio 2013 does exist, and the other thing is VC++ 12.

Are you then following the tutorial step by step?
Can you provide the full build command (see sticky thread)?

You most likely are linking something wrong. ;)

I think my mistake was to not include some dependencies  :o
I recompiled it and now it works
(seems like all of my forum posts so far were senseless :( )

Thank you for the fast reply.
