Statically linking SFML (Solved)

[chessguy]

Greetings.

So, since I am terrible at distributing things properly, I was going to try linking statically again (that is, not using DLL's for the standard library, though this also means linking SFML statically).

It seems, though, that a change has occurred, as detailed here:

As I read it now, you need to link the various dependencies (as listed on the licenses page) when linking statically. Is this correct? Any other needed steps?

If so, is there a prebuilt version of libjpeg somewhere? I am having issues with it, and it's information and documentation seem to be rather outdated.

In the SFML SDK. You don't need to build the dependencies yourself.

Ah. Yup, there is (and related headers).


For future forumgoers (or probably me on my next project when I forget how I did this), you also need to link opengl32.lib. (it has the headers, but not the lib with the rest). Additionally, if you are on windows, also link winmm.lib.
