I do not know much about anything, but I will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for your help.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THANK YOU.

I have no idea why that was set from the default EVEN after 2 VS resets and a full OS reinstall. That fixed it, changing the Subsystem to "not set" fixed everything.

Code: [Select]

winMM.lib
From were ever you copy pasted it, you seem to have added a  (ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE) character making it fail to find it. Make sure you don't have any empty line or other weird entries in there.

So I changed it, just to be sure, now I get this EVEN if I revert it back to simply "winmm.lib" without the full directory.

What's your verbose build output: https://www.sfml-dev.org/faq.php#tr-grl-verbose-ide

What if you provide the absolute path to the lib directly when listing it?

Error   LNK1104   cannot open file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.0\um\x86\WinMM.lib'

Update: I have re-installed windows entirely, the problem still persists.

There should be a WinMM.Lib file in (by default) C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.91\um\$(ARCH). Is this correct?

For reference, I have 10.0.16299.0 installed, and that is where it is located on my machine.

It is the exact same on my machine.

I have tried setting up a new project, I even completely reinstalled VS2017. I have followed the tutorial to the pixel and I keep getting the same result.

General / [FIXED]Problem with static linking - missing winmm.lib

« on: January 24, 2018, 06:30:51 am »

I have downloaded  SFML 2.4.2 for Visual C++ 14 (2015) - 32-bit, and I am trying to run the program on x86. More specifically SFML-2.4.2-windows-vc14-32-bit (as the zip file is currently named).

I am having issues with setting SFML up, and I am currently receiving a single error.

The error I have:

ERROR: LNK1104   cannot open file 'winmm.lib'

Other relavent details:
Currently using the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 (reinstalled again as of 5:00AM, 24/01/2018 GMT+0)

It worked when I pasted it into a template win32 application but the auto-generated code was practically impossible to remove without breaking the program, AND I assume there must be a way to do it from an empty project, I am just probably missing something.

Code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
        sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
        shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }

                window.clear();
                window.draw(shape);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}
