I am just getting started on SFML in Visual Studio 2013, and when i was following the tutorial to create the SFML Works executable, I am receiving countless errors, and after trying to no avail, i cannot find a solution anywhere on the forums.
Here is my build log with the error.

I have tried some solutions to other users with similar problems, one of them being to make sure that when static linking you have the "-s" and "-d". This didn't help so now i came to ask help from you. I appreciate the help in advance!
