error lnk2019 unresolved external symbol public __thiscall

[theo Richard]

Hi ! Im having great troubles compiling a simple test project using with SFML. I have seen many errors similar to the ones Im getting on the internet but everything i tried failed.

I am static linking sfml.

In the project's properties, I added the path to the SFML headers and the SFML libraries.

I have define the SFML_STATIC macro in the preprocessor options of my project.

I added modules and their dependencies like so :

sfml-audio-s-d.lib sfml-graphics-s-d.lib sfml-window-s-d.lib sfml-system-s-d.lib opengl32.lib freetype.lib jpeg.lib winmm.lib flac.lib vorbis.lib vorbisenc.lib vorbisfile.lib ogg.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

I even added the dll files in my executable folder even though its not necessary when static building.

here is my code :

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    std::cout << "helloo" << std::endl;
    sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
    if (!buffer.loadFromFile("A4.wav"))
        std::cout << "cant open file" << std::endl;
    sf::Sound sound;
    sound.setBuffer(buffer);
    sound.play();
    std::string test;
    std::cin >> test;
    return 42;
}

And now here is the errors I get :

additionnal infos :

Im using visual studio 2010 express.

I downloaded "SFML 2.3 Visual C++ 10 (2010) - 64-bit".

any help appreciated.

Odd little question first, why _tmain?
Only asking cause its a MS extension so not all compilers will like it which if you ever wanted forces you to windows only.

2)  use std::cin instead of sleep
3)  Have you tried cleaning the project and solution and trying again?

[eXpl0it3r]

Are you actually using a 64-bit compiler? If not, you shouldn't get the 64-bit SFML binaries.

If that didn't help, you should provide the verbose build command when you do a complete rebuild.

[theo Richard]

Hi ! I used _tmain because that was the function already in the .cpp file created by visual studio.
As Im fairly new to cpp and visual studio i left it like that. 
Thanks for the input on std::cin, I updated my code. 

[theo Richard]

hi eXpl0it3r ! yes Im using a 64-bit compiler (im pretty sure, I will try to be 100% sure)
as for the complete log i didnt bother to put it all since my visual studio prints logs in french, I put what I thought was usefull.
Im going to update my post with the complete logs translated as much as I can.

EDIT
it seems like im actually using a 32-bit compiler, Im going to get the 32-bit SFML binaries.

[eXpl0it3r]

We don't need to full log, what we need is the full build command and the first two or three compiler errors.

Also I highly recommend you start with an empty project instead of a Win32 one, because that adds the odd _tmain and stdafx which only make sense if you know what you're doing.

[theo Richard]

Thanks a lot, Im am going to provide you the full build command and start in a new project.
I'll let you know how this went tomorrow.

Thanks again.

use std::cin instead of sleep

I'd say that you could use sf::Sleep instead of sleep, but looping until the sound finishes makes more sense.

I downloaded "SFML 2.3 Visual C++ 10 (2010) - 64-bit".

Is it possible that you're trying to compile it as a 32-bit version using those 64-bit libraries?
Also, are you compiling in debug or release mode?
Bah - eXpl0it3r beat me to it...

Odd little question first, why _tmain?

I have to agree with this.
You can just use main() for console application (including ones that open windows) or WinMain() for direct windows applications. Even better, link sfml-main.lib and you can keep main().
Remember to - as eXpl0it3r just mentioned - to start with an empty project.

[theo Richard]

Thanks a LOT guys ! I was completly lost and desperate but I did all your suggestions and now it works !!

Much Love, see you soon.
