Title: [SOLVED]LNK2001
Post by: SWB on March 12, 2015, 07:07:33 am

Hullo

When I compile the following code with the static release sfml libraries that have been correctly linked as far as I can tell.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(){

        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

        printf("Press any key continue . . . \n");
        _getch();
        return 0;
}
 

I get the following errors.

Error   1       error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall sf::RenderWindow::~RenderWindow(void)" (__imp_??1RenderWindow@sf@@UAE@XZ)   E:\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Sprite_Collision\Sprite_Collision\main.obj       Sprite_Collision

I'm compiling on Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 64 but using 32 bit libraries.

Please read the official tutorials carefully. If you link SFML statically, you need to define SFML_STATIC.
