I am working on a large game project, and I chose to use sfml for this. I downloaded sdk, managed to build it using cmake and mingw. Then I tried to configure the project in VS community 2017 as instructed in your tutorials. And no matter witch dynamic or static libraries I use I get the same error. I tried releasing in 32 or 64 modes with the same result. I so do not want to use sdl2. Please help!
Here are error messages:
