Hi. I'm trying to static link prebuilt binaries using Visual Studio 2019 and it fails with undefined references type of LNK2019. It works with dynamic link (no "s" suffix) and the app runs okay with dlls provided.
The command I'm trying to build with is:
cl -EHsc main.cpp sfml-graphics-s.lib sfml-window-s.lib sfml-system-s.lib opengl32.lib freetype.lib winmm.lib gdi32.lib
This command is for building your example green circle.
Am I wrong in linkage order? It fails on linking the graphics package. Same command previously worked with MinGW's g++, of course with proper substitutions.
.....

UPD: -DSFML_STATIC makes no effect (even longer list of link fails)
