General / Unresolved External Symbols

« on: April 09, 2012, 04:19:09 am »

Hi there, so I just installed everything and the test worked correctly, which was the clock test example they gave in the Win32 VS2008 instructions.  Originally that had issues with compiling then requiring the sfml-system.dll file which was fixed via copy/pasting into the project's directory.

However, when i opened an empty normal win32 application and did the following:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow App (sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "MyApp", sf::Style::Fullscreen);
        while (App.IsOpened()) App.Display();

        system("Pause");
        return 0;
}

I got the following errors:

General / Error: Missing sfml-system.dll after following the installation tutorial

« on: April 08, 2012, 03:43:46 am »

I know the likeliness that this is a frequent question on here is like 99% but what could the possible issue be when i follow the installation tutorial to a tee?

Using VS2010
Differences:
Tools/Options -> Project/<project name> Properties

Thanks for any help you can provide
