When you build SFML as shared library (i.e. not static), then you'll get dlls including sfml-graphics-2.dll, not sure where you're looking for it exactly.
Personally I recommend setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a custom location and then run the install target, which will copy all the relevant files from the build directory to the specified output directory.
The DLLs will then be in the bin/ directory.

I am building as it as a shared library and sfml-graphics-2.dll does not get generated

Post by: kingwolf112 on May 17, 2024, 11:22:21 am: The solution is to also compile the SFML dependancies using the
https://github.com/eXpl0it3r/SFML-dependencies/wiki

The dependancies come pre compiled , hence no support for UCRT.
