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.
