VS 2013 - linker unable to open .lib files
« on: January 09, 2014, 02:28:04 pm »
am using VS 2013.  downloaded source and ran cmake.  when i compiled SFML the results were " 7 successful, 1 skipped, 1 up to date".  However, when i build a project, the compiler tells me that the linker "cannot open sfml-grahics-d.lib sfml-window-d.lib sfml-system-d.lib".  I have followed the directions of the tutorial to the letter with all the include and additional directories and so forth.  any ideas?

Can you post your build log? It should contain the different commands VS tried to use when it compiled and linked your code.

Where are your lib files located? Does VS has the file permission to access them?

Thanks, i found the problem.  the tutorial didn't show semicolons [;] between the different sfml lib files when putting them into "additional dependencies" on the linker instructions.  when i put them in, all is fine.

Hrmpf, I though Laurent already fixed that. It apparently worked for older versions, but I've always been using semicolons... :-\
