System: Windows 10

I am using Visual Studio express and I have follows the tutorial for setting up SFML as static libraries not dynamic.


However when attempting to build,  I get the following Linker errors:

Linker Options as follows:


Input

Release: sfml-graphics-s.lib;sfml-window-s.lib;sfml-system-s.lib
Debug: sfml-graphics-s-d.lib;sfml-window-s-d.lib;sfml-system-s-d.lib

Preprocessor Option: SFML_STATIC;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)

I have ensured that I have download the VC12 Pack from the SFML site as using VC++ 12, would the fact that I have express make any difference?

Can confirm that my windows version is 32 bit (if that helps).

I can confirm that the file exists. the file extension is correct, however it is hidden?? But surely this should not matter. I tried removing the extension in the declaration and it made no difference.

The intelligent typing tool correctly identifies the files.

[GraphicsWhale]

The headers should be in the SFML subdirectory such as: #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>. It may work without doing this, but it still should be configured like this because generic header names such as Graphics.hpp may be ambiguous.

Also, you are not linking some things required for statically linking SFML.

I believe the options you need to add are:

- opengl32.lib
- freetype.lib
- jpeg.lib
- winmm.lib
- gdi32.lib

But I'm not entirely sure. I usually don't link it statically.

OK I now have 34 errors

The errors are pretty descriptive, plus the MSDN will always provide more information on any of their compiler and linker errors, did you take a look already?

The issue is that you seem to have built your main.cpp with an older compiler version that the SFML libraries were built with.
First try a complete and clean rebuild, then make sure your VS is uptodate and lastly check your project settings, whether you have picked an old version (17).

Thanks all for your help.

Was looking at the VC++ Version number not the year number.

Also had to add extra module dependencies.

Works fine now.

Thanks again.
