Unresolved External Symbols

[Omikron]

Trying to set up SFML on a new PC. I've used it successfully in the past but this time it's not working. All I did was follow the tutorial using the 32bit download on MSVS14.0. There are more errors when building debug than building for release.

Only the following for release:

These are the additional dependencies:
sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-audio.lib;sfml-network.lib;sfml-system.lib;opengl32.lib;freetype.lib;jpeg.lib;winmm.lib;flac.lib;vorbisenc.lib;vorbisfile.lib;vorbis.lib;ogg.lib;ws2_32.lib;

I've checked the input & lib directories. The code is copied & pasted from the tutorial. I've started again from scratch multiple times. So, I've tried everything I can think of. Help would be appreciated!

Others may have a better answer than mine, but here are some questions/remarks:

- stupid question: are you able to compile properly a simple program which does not use sfml ?

- in debug mode, did you link the libraries with the "-d" suffixe ?

- what kind of project did you create in Visual Studio ? Console or Windows program ?
        => I always link the sfml-main[-d].lib library in my project, even though in a console program I don't have to.

- if you are linking dynamically, the libraries: opengl32.lib; freetype.lib; jpeg.lib; winmm.lib; flac.lib; vorbisenc.lib; vorbisfile.lib; vorbis.lib; ogg.lib; ws2_32.lib are useless (only use those with the sfml prefix).

- are you absolutely sure you downloaded the MSVC14 pre-compiled binaries for 32 bits windows ?

- did you try creating a new fresh project? Once it happens to me that a one of my project got corrupted.

Hope it helps

This error arises when you link wrong msvc libraries to a executable.
May be this helps:

Instead of linking sfml-main.lib I had set main as the entry point which caused all the linker errors. Thanks for the help.
