Statically linking mismatched runtime for LLVM Clang Windows

[Kappa]

So far, I am able to dynamically link SFML and run the executable just fine. However, statically linking the SFML errors saying:

sfml-graphics-s.lib(RenderWindow.cpp.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MT_StaticRelease' in Main.o

My clang version and information are:

clang version 15.0.7
Target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: ...

which made me not accomplish any solutions from quick google search about my problem as their build system or environment is different from mine.

I downloaded the SFML version for Visual Studio 64 bit, and then setted up the required search directories and linkers such as sfml-graphics-s.lib.
My command line is:

clang++.exe -DSFML_STATIC -fms-extensions -O2 -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wall -std=c++14 -I"Deps\SFML\include" -c "Main.cpp" -o "Main.o"

clang++.exe -L"Deps\SFML\lib" -o "Main.exe" "Main.o" -m64 -lfreetype.lib -lopengl32.lib -lwinmm.lib -lgdi32.lib -luser32.lib -lsfml-window.lib -lsfml-graphics-s.lib -lsfml-system.lib

The runtime library is linked statically for your own code, but linked dynamically in SFML. Not sure if clang links the runtime statically by default on Windows.

The simplest solution is to build SFML with the same configuration. You can easily achieve this by using for example this CMake SFML Template: https://github.com/SFML/cmake-sfml-project

Thank you! After a long dedicated research about it, I have discover the solution.

I had to link msvcrt.lib, then define the _DLL macro. Now it successfully compiles my SFML project statically.
