[bug] Statically linking to MSVC Libraries causes errors!

[MrDoomMaster]

Hi,

In Visual Studio 9, I setup my application to statically link to the MSVC libraries via "Multithreaded Debug" instead of "Multithreaded Debug DLL". When I do so, simply having "sfml-window-s-d.lib" in my additional libraries causes the linker to spit out the following errors (these are only just a few of many):

Code: [Select]

You simply can't link to a different version of the CRT than the libraries you're using.
SFML uses "Multithreaded Debug DLL" in debug mode, so you have to use it as well.

Or rebuild a copy of the libraries using the configuration you wish to use.
