Title: Link Errors with sfml-audio-s.lib in version 3.0.0
Post by: SPJ-Game-Dev on December 28, 2024, 03:25:02 am

I was getting link errors with the statically linked sfml-audio-s.lib in Visual Studio 2022. I replaced it with sfml-audio.lib and added the dll file to the project folder and I am able to use the Audio library now. I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but using the dynamically linked file seems to be a good workaround for now.

The static versions of SFML don't include their dependencies, you need to link them manually.
https://www.sfml-dev.org/faq/build-use/#link-static
This means you have to also link libraries like flac, openal, vorbis, etc.

Also make sure you add SFML_STATIC to your preprocessor settings for the project, otherwise static libraries can't be linked correctly.
