Title: SFML C++ Linker Errors | Visual studio 2017
Post by: Tommex on August 19, 2018, 02:43:41 pm

Hey guys, it's my first time posting here something basically because of an issue that i'm getting on building my project.

I installed SFML 2 days ago and followed a video of how to setup it. now, when i'm trying to build the next code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
   sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
   sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
   shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

   while (window.isOpen())
   {
      sf::Event event;
      while (window.pollEvent(event))
      {
         if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();
      }

      window.clear();
      window.draw(shape);
      window.display();
   }

   return 0;
}

I'm keeping getting an Linker Error LNK2019 and LNK1120.
Here is the build error:

Severity   Code   Description   Project   File   Line   Suppression State

Why did you define SFML_STATIC? ;)

No, the instructions tell you something else. Please read them carefully and don't just look at the images. ;)

It's mentioned in the tutorial:

don't forget to copy the SFML DLLs (they are in <sfml-install-path/bin>) to the directory where your compiled executable is
