undefined reference to blah blah blah

[KKZiomekkk]

Hello SFML community,

I started learning SFML when error showed up 'undefined reference to _imp__xxx'. I looked at the FAQ, but that didn't solve my problem. I think I followed all the directions fine.

This is some info:

Code I wanted to compile while error ocurred:

The code I tried to compile was code to test if SMFL works which can be found here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/start-cb.php

#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;
}

That's it, thanks in advance!

SFML_STATIC doesn't appear in your compiler command line, and the errors are consistent with that. I see that you've defined it in your project settings, but somehow it is not done correctly.

Is there a way to fix this plz?
