hello fellow programmers i found out about sfml 2 weeks ago, and it amazed me with simplicity and efficiencie, today i installed VS2013 Community version and i wanted to install SFML 2.3.2.I used the tutorial on the official sfml page, i did every step right, everything and my code doesn't have compilier errors, it has linker errors, i searched but i couldn't find a solution, i get these errors:


Error   1   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::RenderStates const sf::RenderStates::Default" (?Default@RenderStates@sf@@2V12@B)   c:\Users\drin-_000\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\SFMLGAME\SFMLGAME\Main.obj   SFMLGAME
Error   2   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::Color const sf::Color::Green" (?Green@Color@sf@@2V12@B)   c:\Users\drin-_000\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\SFMLGAME\SFMLGAME\Main.obj   SFMLGAME

You most likely defined SFML_STATIC even though you're linking SFML dynamically. You need to follow the tutorial by word not just by image. ;)

Also you should just upgrade to VS2015 Community while you're at it.
