General / Link issue: sfml-window-d-3.dll
« on: February 20, 2025, 12:11:28 am »
Hi and nice to meet you
.
So, my problem is pretty straightforward:
1) I downloaded the new SFML 3.0 version for C++ 17 x32 bits (check attachments if you need)
2)I followed the entire tutorial to configure it using VS (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/3.0/getting-started/visual-studio/). Note: I'm NOT using the SFML_STATIC.
3) There are no errors regarding link or includes in my debug console when I try to compile/recompile the solution, BUT if I try to run the .exe it says that "the code can't continue because it's missing sfml-window-d-3.dll". This is occuring also for sfml-graphic-d-3.dll and sfml-system-d-3.dll. It's NOT occuring for audio/network, dont know why.
4) After running the program I get the exit code 3221225781: "missing libraries".
Things I've done so far:
1) changing v143 to v142, same issue.
2) run the program on debug and release, same issue for both.
3) re-downloaded the sfml package and did the whole tutorial again, same issue.
4) downloaded the C++ 17 x64 sfml package and did the whole tutorial, same issue
I understand that we have a new cmake template and I'll migrate to that later on, but would like to understand the root cause of this first.
Anyone already dealt with this problem before? I've been working with SFML past 8 years and can't remember dealing with this.
