General / Static SFML unresolved external symbol

« on: January 19, 2019, 03:11:34 am »

I'm trying to get a statically linked copy of SFML working through CMake, but even though I'm pretty sure I've linked everything correctly (Images down the bottom if you want to double-check), I keep getting a bunch of unresolved external symbol errors. If it helps, I think it may be connected to ws2_32.lib, as removing the file from the additional libraries doesn't seem to do anything.

This section will have my system specifications, as recommended by the forum. I am running a 64-bit windows 10 system with an i7-7700 CPU, a 1070 GPU and  16GB of RAM. I am on the latest version of Visual Studio and got the latest Visual Studio release of SFML. I also used CMake 3.13.3 to create the project.

Here is the test code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(500, 500), "New Window", sf::Style::Close);
       
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event windowEvent;
                window.pollEvent(windowEvent);
                if (windowEvent.type == sf::Event::Closed) window.close();
        }

        return 0;
}
 

And here is the output:

I think I included images of everything I changed in the Properties, but if you want to know anything else just tell me.

General / How do I finish my static CMake VS build?

« on: January 19, 2019, 12:23:41 am »

I've been trying to get SFML to work with minimal files when I send it to one of my friends (no dlls or libs), so I'm using CMake to make the build. Needless to say, I'm not very experienced in this area, and while I probably could find the answer somewhere online, I've already been working on this for too many hours.

Currently, I have used CMake to generate a visual studio file as seen below.

So my question is, what comes next? Is there some way to extract the libraries from this for use in my other projects, or to turn it into a prefab or what?
