Title: Linker cannot open sfml-system-d-3.lib file.
Post by: Zerst18 on May 02, 2025, 05:43:53 am

Hello, everyone. Lately, I have been trying to setup SFML. After following the tutorial, https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/3.0/getting-started/visual-studio/ (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/3.0/getting-started/visual-studio/), and correctly linking everything and setting it all up, I tried to run the example code listed in the tutorial, however, I got the error: cannot open file 'sfml-system-d-3.lib'. I could not find any other articles on why this issue occurs or how to fix it. This is probably some beginner mistake, but all help is appreciated.

Thanks.

If you check the tutorial again, you'll see that it should be sfml-system-d.lib without the -3. Only the DLL itself will have the -3.
