Errors while linking

[totalwar235]

i am brand new to this SDK and i just tried compiling the test code from the tutorial that uses the clock.

when i compiled it i received 4 errors.  every single error was  LNK2019.

i followed the installation instructions perfectly.

i am using the Visual C++ 2008 to compile and i am running it on a windows XP, 32 bit.

any way to fix this?

every single error was LNK2019

We're not compilers, it's easier to understand with the message than with the code...

this is everything i got after compiling.

Looks like you didn't link to SFML (or at least parts of it). What are your linker settings for each configuration?

In SFML 1, you also have to define the macro SFML_DYNAMIC when linking dynamically.
In SFML 2, it's just converse (SFML_STATIC for static linking required).

i am using SFML 1.6 and i did link something incorrectly. i fixed it and i got a new error. this is what came up.

Link to sfml-main.

ok, i did get the original error to fix. i continued with the tutorial on the main site and got a new set of errors as soon i got to gl- prefixes. i buil the rotating cube code and i get these errors.

will i have to download the opengl sdk and install that as well?

[Laurent]

There's no OpenGL SDK, you already have all the GL libraries. Here you need opengl32.lib and glu32.lib.

thank you so much laurent, i am very new to libraries so thank you for helping me out. i appreciate it a lot.
