Nexus, go to "\SFML-1.2\vc2008" and open "SFML.sln". Then if "Debug static" isen't already selected in the "Configuration manager" select it. Then Build!

Now you should have new static libraries in "\SFML-1.2\lib\vc2008\static". Remember to use the ones ending with a "-d" like "sfml-window-d.lib" and not "sfml-window.lib".

That's how I got SFML to work. I'm not using Vista though.

Thank you very much for your great help! Everything is okay now!

I have read the tutorial and even tried to rebuild, but I linked my code with another configuration (not debug static) and it didn't work.
First, the way described by dabo didn't work either, I got the error mt.exe : general error c101008a: Failed to save the updated manifest to the file. I googled and found out I would have to rebuild the whole solution to suceed, which worked.

I am really glad you could help me, I am looking forward to use SFML, thanks a lot!
