LINK2001 error when trying to build in Release mode x64 VS2019

[mohragk]

Hi,
I'm using the dynamic version of the library and when building a debug (x64) version, everything works fine (except for font loading).

But, when I try to build a release (x64) version, I get a couple of linker errors:

1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::RenderStates const sf::RenderStates::Default" (?Default@RenderStates@sf@@2V12@B)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::Color const sf::Color::White" (?White@Color@sf@@2V12@B)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::Color const sf::Color::Red" (?Red@Color@sf@@2V12@B)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::Color const sf::Color::Cyan" (?Cyan@Color@sf@@2V12@B)

Maybe you added .lib files in the linker options only for debug builds?

Could you attach your project files?

Sounds like you link SFML dynamically, yet you defined SFML_STATIC.
If you link SFML dynamically, don't define SFML_STATIC.
