Linking Error LNK2019 with VS2012 and SFML 2.0

[Randl]

I've downloaded SFML 2.0 from GitHub, configured with CMake and built with nmake. Created a project based on this tutorial. While compiling project I get errors:

I'm using SFML dynamic. I added SFML both to Additional Include Directories and Additional Library Directories. I added *.lib files to Additional Dependencies. I'm on Win8 64-bit.

Created a project based on this tutorial.

Please follow the official tutorials!

I'm using SFML dynamic. I added SFML both to Additional Include Directories and Additional Library Directories. I added *.lib files to Additional Dependencies.

I hope that doesn't mean that you actually wrote *.lib into the Additional Dependencies field, or did you?
From the linker error it seems like you don't link against sfml-window(-d).lib

I actually did what's written in this tutorial

I hope that doesn't mean that you actually wrote *.lib into the Additional Dependencies field, or did you?

Of course, no 

From the linker error it seems like you don't like against sfml-window(-d).lib

So, what can I do to fix it?

Would you bet your life on that statement?

Well you have to add them to the project settings as described in the official tutorial.

I did it one more time, folowing official tutorial step by step and now i'm pretty sure I've done everything just as written in it. Nevertheless, it didn't help.

Maybe you defined SFML_STATIC but linked to the dynamic libraries?

[Randl]

Maybe you defined SFML_STATIC but linked to the dynamic libraries?

Nope

[Laurent]

Nope what? Do you link statically or dynamically?

[Randl]

Nope what? Do you link statically or dynamically?

I didn't define SFML_STATIC. As I understood,  I don't need to do anything to link dynamically. At least, there was written only what I need to do in addition to link statically in tutorial.

[Laurent]

I didn't define SFML_STATIC

I think you do. Otherwise the unresolved symbols would have the "__imp_" prefix.

[Randl]

I think you do. Otherwise the unresolved symbols would have the "__imp_" prefix.

I just checked. SFML_STATIC isn't defined. And the error is really different:

[Laurent]

Why is it different now?

[Randl]

Why is it different now?

While trying to fix the error, I tried to define SFML_STATIC. Possibly I posted the error here, when it was defined.

[massive_potato]

Just throwing out a suggestion - did you copy the .dll files to your solution folder? That could be the source of your errors.

[eXpl0it3r]

I'm still saying you didn't add the libs to the settings, does it look like this?
