Static Audio Linker errors

[Tim0n]

Hello I'm trying to build a static project but I believe that I have included both the SFML_STATIC and sfml-audio-s.lib correctly (it is working when I'm not using sf::sound or sf::soundbuffer) but when I try to run it with sound it gives me alot of linker errors (see below) I'm using SFML 2.1 and Visual Studios 2013 and this template: http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=13010.0

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I've read somewhere that linking has changed in SFML 2.1 but haven't found what it changed to.

I also have another bug, when I'm trying to exit my normal release and debug versions I get "Unhandled exception at 0x7719A4B9 (ole32.dll) in Pong.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFEEEFEEE." Does anyone know how to solve this as well?

I hope I have given enough information but am prepared to give more in case I've missed something.

Thanks!

You can find some information about static linking past SFML 2.1 on the wiki. Meaning you have to link all the dependencies.

Are you by chance tim0n who made a Firefall hack?

Oh thank you for that! It seems to work now, however I'm getting a new error "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-system.lib'" do you by any chance know what the problem might be here?

I added this to my code:

#pragma comment(lib, "openal32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "sndfile.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "sfml-system.lib")

And I'm unfortunately not that Tim0n, we just happen to use the same name, I began using Tim0n back in 2009 so it's not because I'm some kind of "wannabe"

Edit: Idiot question, I shouldn't have included sfml-system.lib because I've already included it, so now debug static is working, but my release static says "1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sfml-graphics-s.lib'" Which is weird, because I have used release static before.

"Cannot open" basically means it can't be found. So make sure you provide the path to where all the lib files are.

Okay I readded everything and now it's working perfectly thank you for your help! It has been much appreciated!
