General / Installing under Visual C++ 2010

« on: July 05, 2010, 10:32:19 am »

Hello everyone,

I'm new here. Well anyway, I have just gotten through a few programming classes(visual basic, c, c++) and thought hey; what good is any of this stuff if I can't find an interesting use for it? So after working with Game Maker for a while(www.yoyogames.com), I figured it would be interesting to create games in C++ since it is so similar to GML. Anyway, all of that aside let me get to the point. As it turns out, this is all making me feel like a complete noob as I can't seem to set things up correctly. I can't seem to find a good tutorial on installing under Visual C++ 2010(well, one that actually works). I've checked out the forum on other posts and I can already see that I might be flamed because I don't know how all of the compiler options work, but people have to learn somewhere as school obviously doesn't teach you.
I followed the directions in the tutorials section, and every time I try to compile I get the following LNK2019 errors. By the way this is for the window rendering example in the tutorials section; I was able to get the simple time test up and running with no problem actually:

I had gotten some small examples to compile with Allegro before so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. They're obviously Linker errors but does anyone know what is causing this? I've already tried changing the properties of my project to include the sfml-system and sfml-graphics(and also window when that didnt work). thanks.
