Hi
Using the latest SFML built with VS2013, when I link my game project I get lots of unresolved externals, stuff like this:
Error 3 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glBindTexture@8 C:\Projects\game\sfml-graphics-s-d.lib(Texture.obj)
Error 7 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glGetIntegerv@8 C:\Projects\game\sfml-graphics-s-d.lib(Texture.obj)
Error 139 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeGetDevCaps@8 referenced in function "void __cdecl sf::priv::sleepImpl(class sf::Time)" (?sleepImpl@priv@sf@@YAXVTime@2@@Z) C:\Projects\game\sfml-system-s-d.lib(SleepImpl.obj)
...I have built the SFML libraries as static....so I think this is a problem with the libraries I've build rather than the game. What have I missed.....?
Thanks
Ed

Thanks for the link, seems quite a lot has changed since I last built SFML about 12 months ago! I have added all .lib files necessary, and now down to 8 errors....so what is missing?!

Strange... those symbols are supposed to be in gdi32.lib and advapi32.lib. Did you try rebuilding from scratch? If that doesn't help, you could try inspecting the build output (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=12552.0). Often times, Visual Studio likes to play tricks on the unknowing ::).

Ah ha!
So adding gdi32.lib and advapi32.lib to my linker input worked - for some reason, even though gdi32.lib was already in the "inherited" area it didn't work....
Thanks for your help, game is now up and running :)
