I'm Getting Error LNK2019 When Compiling sf::Window
« on: July 06, 2013, 01:44:11 am »
So I am trying to follow the online tutorials off of the SFML website, but I have come across some code that won't compile due to error code LNK2019: unresolved external symbol. Thinking I was just coding wrong, I copied and pasted the example from the website and used it instead, only to get the same result.

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::Window window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");

    // run the program as long as the window is open
    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        // check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            // "close requested" event: we close the window
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? I have searched the web for solutions for 2 days already and have not been able to fix it. Based on the other websites, I can conclude that some of the code in my main() function has been typed wrong, but I can't figure out what. I have also experimented with it and found that the source of all of the errors is in Line 5, where I make the window.

Link to system too. Window depends on it.
Linker errors mean that your code is fine, code that doesn't compile doesn't get to linking part.

No. There are many mistakes that can trigger linker errors, e.g. undefined functions.

Have you verified that the project properties are set up correctly? It looks like you've done the include directories, but the linker isn't set correctly so it can't find the definitions of those functions. Check the tutorial for your IDE again and make sure to set the libraries and library directories correctly.
