Can't get Visual Studio 2013 to link to lib files [SOLVED]

[codychilders]

This probably has a simple answer and I apologize for that, but I've spent several hours googling and searching this forum and trying things and I just can not get Visual Studio to talk to SFML as described in this tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-vc.php

The code, error, settings, and visual studio version are all in the attached images.

Note: the Release version of the linker input settings looks the same, but they are all missing the "-d" suffix in the filename.

Any suggestions as to what I might be overlooking so I can start this project would be greatly appreciated!

My guess would be that you created a Windows application instead of a console or blank one.

Try:
go to Project Settings->Configuration Properties->Linker->System and changing SubSystem to Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)
or
In Project Settings->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input, add to the list in Additional Dependencies these: sfml-main.lib (debug build) and sfml-main.lib (release build)

It does mention this in that tutorial (just below the piece of code)

This helped.  Now it gives me an error about sfml-graphics-d-2.dll is missing and won't run the program.  It is definitely in the folder though.

I just tried putting all the DLLs in the folder and the demo worked.  Thanks for the help!

You're welcome. Have fun with SFML!
