That is the error I am getting when compiling a pre-written thing on shapes in the tutorial section. Thanks in advance.

You're linking to both the static and dynamic versions of sfml-graphics. This makes no sense, link to only one version.

Now this is the error I'm getting.

You must define SFML_DYNAMIC.

It's explained in the tutorial.

Sorry for not realizing that even though it was in the tutorial. New error now.

Ok, now it's a runtime error (compiling and linking are ok), so you can run the debugger (F5) to know what's wrong ;)

By the way, in your next message you should give us more information about your system (OS, compiler, version of SFML, ...).

I've been running the debugger all along, what I posted above is the output. also, it comes up with a popup window saying

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application.

Also, I won't be able to post a response for a few hours as I am going to sleep now.

As always, thanks for the help.

This output is not from the debugger, this is the regular output.

The debugger:
- shows you where the crash happened in the source code
- shows you the call stack at the moment of the crash
- can show you much more information but these two things should be enough ;)

That should give you some more information on what I'm doing.

I see. This kind of error popup often means that a DLL couldn't be found. You must make sure that the SFML DLLs are located in your working directory (which is defined in your project settings -- should be the project directory by default, but I recommend changing it to the executable directory).

It is probably easier for both you and me if I just show you things with YouTube videos as that is a lot easier than trying to explain it and you can see I'm not doing anything stupid.

Did you first recompile SFML? (VC2008 libs are not compatible with VC2010 -- half of the forum topics are about this)

oh, I thought that the converting thing fixed that. I'll do that now and get back to you with my result after I've done that.

What converting thing?

Thanks SO much for your help. I look forward to showing you what I make with SFML!
