Static linking problem

[Sebox]

Ok now certainly i have good compiled and installed SFML but when i try to compile my own program, i get error: LNK2038   mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease' in animation.obj   client

When i changed Runtime Library in Debug to Multi-threaded Debug i dont have this error but when i try to open the compiled exe i get error system "Application stopped working"

[Laurent]

next i marked the SFML_USE_STATIC_STD_LIBS

Don't do that

[Sebox]

Are you sure? If i dont marked this i dont have lib with suffix -s so i can't static link. 

[Laurent]

Please read the documentation carefully. This one is a totally different thing. The option you need to care about is BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.

[Sebox]

I unmarked BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and marked SFML_USE_STATIC_STD_LIBS, so i have lib with -s suffix. When i only marked BUILD_SHARED_LIBS i have dynamically libs so without -s. So how i can add this to visual studio ?

You have to uncheck BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and uncheck SFML_USE_STATIC_STD_LIBS. Read the SFML CMake tutorial to understand what each option does.

I did what u spoken and i have same problem "...Application stopped working..."

SFML hasn't been tested with VS 2017 yet, so there maybe a chance that Microsoft changed something that breaks SFML. However it may also just be a misconfiguration on your end somehow.

I'll look into building SFML with VS 2017 this evening myself.

I turned on debugging and i get error in mutex, so i find in google that sf::RenderWindow can no't be a global variables, i get this in the main() and all is good. Thank you very much for help i think i would do this with super documentation but my main problem is english thats why the lucid tutorial dont help me much.

Intrestingly why its work in dynamic libraries and it makes problem in static hmm

[eXpl0it3r]

Yes, don't initialize any SFML resources in a global scope. I'd even suggest to not use any global variables at all. There are always better designs, the most simple one being to wrap things into a class and just use the main() function to initialize the class.

I also just quickly built SFML with VS 2017 and everything works fine.

As i wrote all is good but what i have to do if can build static libraries of Visual Studio like "msvcrt140d.dll" ??
When i change runtime library to Multi-Threaded Debug i get error type: LNK2038   mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' doesn't match value 'MTd_StaticDebug' in animation.obj client

As explained in the CMake tutorial, if you want to link the runtime library statically, you check SFML_USE_STATIC_STD_LIBS and switch your project to /MT and /MTd.
