LNK1104 Error

[fl1ppyXD]

I have tried setting up SFML 3 times now on Visual Studio 2013 and 2017.
On both versions i get the same error : 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-window-d.lib'
I have followed the tutorial from the SFML site and i have also followed a tutorial from youtube.
In the linker input in the additional dependices i have checked if sfml-window-lib is added and it is i didnt miss it. Then i thought mayebe it was missing in the SFML folders but its also present there. I have tried using the x86 and x64 versions of SFML and i get the same error on both.

Did you change the additional library directory?

Can you provide the verbose build output?

help pls

[fl1ppyXD]

I have made a huge breakthrough
I have found that that what ever i put to be last in the linker throws out an error.

[eXpl0it3r]

Sounds like to me that files either don't exist at C:\SFMLBUILDS\SFMLVS2017\SFML-2.5.1\lib or the folder has different permissions.

[fl1ppyXD]

The folder exists.
The permissions could be the problem?
How do i add full permissions to vs or how can i troubleshoot it atleast?

I have this exact same issue. Everything is properly setup, but getting the same error.
I am using Visual studio 2017.

[fl1ppyXD]

Same here
Still havent got a solution.
Visual studio support also havent come up with anything

[AvikB]

Ok i actually found an solution thanks to the awesome people at their discord server.
In the project settings, just put the path in double quotes


Also if that does not work, try do this

Just use full path and put it inside double quotes.

fixed also
