you know what. I got it to work (I think)
Instead of statically linking it, I used the .dll s
in my Library I put just the sfml-... and then the dependencies. I then went to where the executable was being made and put the .dll s there. I think it all works, for I used the Pong example from the examples folder and got it to work!
Thank You All Very Much! I look forward to being able to code with SFML.
