Static SFML unresolved external symbol
« on: January 19, 2019, 03:11:34 am »
I'm trying to get a statically linked copy of SFML working through CMake, but even though I'm pretty sure I've linked everything correctly (Images down the bottom if you want to double-check), I keep getting a bunch of unresolved external symbol errors. If it helps, I think it may be connected to ws2_32.lib, as removing the file from the additional libraries doesn't seem to do anything.

This section will have my system specifications, as recommended by the forum. I am running a 64-bit windows 10 system with an i7-7700 CPU, a 1070 GPU and  16GB of RAM. I am on the latest version of Visual Studio and got the latest Visual Studio release of SFML. I also used CMake 3.13.3 to create the project.

Here is the test code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(500, 500), "New Window", sf::Style::Close);
       
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event windowEvent;
                window.pollEvent(windowEvent);
                if (windowEvent.type == sf::Event::Closed) window.close();
        }

        return 0;
}
 

And here is the output:

I think I included images of everything I changed in the Properties, but if you want to know anything else just tell me.

I fixed it by making a new project and changing the properties in that. Whatever was wrong with the first one must have been something I might have changed without realising and never thought to check.

This doesn't affect the linking but your event loop should be a while loop and pollEvent doesn't always return an event so your code is now sometimes accessing an uninitialized sf::Event structure. You should also add clear and display to your main while loop. And your GPU and RAM amount also wouldn't effect the linking ;D , I wonder what it was though.
