Title: Problems with statically linking with Visual Studio 2017
Post by: steveRoll on October 08, 2019, 01:29:58 pm

I have followed the "SFML and Visual Studio" tutorial, and I put all the dependencies that the libraries I used needed (sfml-system, sfml-window and sfml-graphics). I am using the 32-bit libraries, and the project is also set to x86. When I try to compile the project, I get this linking error:

LNK2019 unresolved external symbol ___std_swap_ranges_trivially_swappable_noalias referenced in function "unsigned char * __cdecl std::_Swap_ranges_unchecked<unsigned char,0>(unsigned char * const,unsigned char * const,unsigned char * const)" (??$_Swap_ranges_unchecked@E$0A@@std@@YAPAEQAE00@Z)

And it says that this error comes from this file:

sfml-graphics-s-d.lib(Image.cpp.obj)

How can I fix this?

This error is usually solved by updating Visual Studio to a newer version or building SFML yourself from source. :)

Yup, just updated Visual Studio and everything is working. Thanks!
