SFML 2.2 not working?!

[LarryP]

I was using 2.1 and switched to 2.2 and am getting 96+ errors.  I am using VS 2012 and 2.2 32 bit.  Everything is just like I had setup for 2.1.  Template is the same exact settings.  I am stumped.

I'm sorry, but which part of that advice am I not adhering to?

You haven't told us what your problem is.

Since you didn't provide any errors what so ever, I'll guess that you're linking statically and haven't seen the new paragraphs in the tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/start-vc.php

I thought that with 96+ errors it said that my template is  not compiling.  I'm sorry if I did not post thorough enough, but when I read my post it makes sense to me, guess I'm biased. 

OK.  I have a 2.1 template setup with the instructions from here http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-vc.php.  It works fine with 2.1.  So I installed 2.2 into a similar directory and use the same settings from the 2.1 template from the above link.  However, when building the template I get 96+ errors.  I have cleaned out my Debug directory and done all I can think of.  Here is an example of an error, the first one in a long list:

Error   1   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__glBlendFunc@8 referenced in function "private: void __thiscall sf::RenderTarget::applyBlendMode(struct sf::BlendMode const &)" (?applyBlendMode@RenderTarget@sf@@AAEXABUBlendMode@2@@Z)   E:\VS 2012 WORK\WORK\VC++\SFMLTemplate\sfml-graphics-s-d.lib(RenderTarget.cpp.obj)   SFMLTemplate

This function is new in SFML 2.2, so one possible explanation is that you're still linking to SFML 2.1 libraries. Showing a few more errors could confirm this (you can even post the full output, with a "spoiler" tag).

__imp__glBlendFunc ... graphics-s-d.lib

You're linking statically and thus need to link all of SFML's dependencies as described in the new tutorial.

You fixed it!  I added those extra libraries and it compiles fine now.  Thank you sir.   

I had made the 2.1 template a few weeks ago and I went back down that list, but I did not see the new paragraphs.
