Followed the tutorial, went through all the other LNK1181 errors in the forums and I feel like I'm skipping something simple. And I had this working before too, but now that I formatted and decided to get VS12, I'm stuck with:
1>------ Build started: Project: Project1, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sfml-graphics.lib'
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
So what did I do?
Downloaded CMake, generated for Visual Studio 12 (2013) in the same directory "D:/Programming/SFML/SFML-2.1"
Went through the following tutorial:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-vc.phpAnd despite feeling like the error is something on my end (poor configuration) I just can't figure out what's wrong...
I also feel as if the folder structure has changed somewhat. In the guide linked above it says:
Now compile the project, and if you linked to the dynamic version of SFML, don't forget to copy the SFML DLLs (they are in <sfml-install-path/bin>) to the directory where your compiled executable is. Then run it
And yet my SFML has no bin folder, I find my DLLs in <sfml-install-path>/lib/Release or <sfml-install-path>/lib/Debug
I placed my dll files in the <Projects>\Project1\Project1\Release folder and built as release, but that error typed out above happened.
