Building SFML for Visual Studio 2015

[Geheim]

Hmm, that's odd, the code works for me. Not sure what the problem is tbh.

OK I figured out my mistake- on the Linker-->Input tab of the project I did not put the '-d' version on the Debug configuration (I had originally configured it without the '-d' for All Configurations).  I TBH, I thought the '-d'  would only be necessary if I entered Debug mode but I guess that's not the case.  I will be sure to follow everything to the letter going forward.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

I'm not sure how much I'd trust a tutorial that has a header that says:
"SDML Overview"

The only tutorial one should follow is the official one. This is clearly outdated. He uses sf::Test without a font which is not doable anymore. And if I remember correctly, the website shows some very bad practice in general.

I was simply trying to get as much practice as I could but thanks for the feedback, I will stick with the official tutorials.

FYI the GitHub repository of SFML now has a new branch feature/VS2015, which includes precompiled binaries for Visual Studio 2015.

There are still a few small hiccups with runtime linking, but it should allow you building SFML from scratch - also some testing by others won't hurt.

Just built SFML from the feature/VS2015 branch and it compiles file although I get these errors when trying to use it:


Turns out I wasnt linking the new external libs. Its working fine, good work.
