General / Linker Problems

« on: October 13, 2009, 04:52:53 pm »

I've been having issues trying to link to the SFML libraries, specifically sfml-window and sfml-graphics. I've tried all the configurations I could think of, debug, release, static-debug, static-release, etc. Taking note to define SFML_DYNAMIC for any of the dynamic libraries.

With the following code taken from the tutorials, including the libraries sfml-main-d.lib and sfml-window-s-d.lib -

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
// Create the main rendering window
sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I receive the following linker errors -

Code: [Select]

I've also built the libraries from source as well, hoping it would solve the issue, but alas nothing seems to be helping. I've noticed that it's particularly having issues with sf::Clock's methods and sf::Sleep. I'm hoping I'm just missing something simple, otherwise I may just try and remove Clock/Sleep from the libraries and re-build them. Though I'd rather not have to start hacking and slashing the libraries.

Oh, and just in case it helps, here's the command line taken from VS9.
