General / SFML visual studio error
« on: August 05, 2016, 12:52:19 am »
Hi, I followed the guide for configuring sfml with visual studio 14 but when I run the example code at the end of the guide, VS say that there were build errors and even when I write a main function with nothing inside except return 0, an error appear:
1>MSVCRTD.lib(exe_winmain.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function "int __cdecl invoke_main(void)" (?invoke_main@@YAHXZ)
1>c:\users\karim\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ConsoleApplication2\Debug\ConsoleApplication2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
I did exactly what was written in the guide except when linking the application to the SFML libraries I put ; instead of spaces to separate each sfml-xxx.lib (There are less errors when I put ; instead of spaces) and also I skipped the part for linking to the static version of SFML and theres a part that talks about dependencies of each SFML modules and I didn't know what to do with that finally there is this written in the guide:
"If you chose to create a "Windows application" project, the entry point of your code has to be set to "WinMain" instead of "main""
I also didn't know what to do with that so I just added a c++ file in the source files folder and tried to call it WinMain and Main but it still didn't work. (main lowercase m didn't work because there is already a "main" file but somehow VS doesn't show it in my project and I can't access it)
