Compilation error sfml2.0 on visual studio c++2010 express

[Keith13024]

I get this error every time I compile with sfml 2.0:

Run your program in debug mode and get a stack trace from where it fails.

Additionally you should update to SFML 2.4.2 and VS 2017 Community.

Are you running it through the debugger? It should break when it crashes and show you the call stck and where it crashes.

[Keith13024]

Yes I am using the debugger. Also when it crashes it gives me an error 0xc000007b and says the application was unable to start properly.

[eXpl0it3r]

Did you provide the x64 SFML libs while building an x86 application?

Why are you using VS 2010 and SFML 2.0?

[Keith13024]

No I did not. I am using vs2010 because my pc lacks a lot off space on its hard disk and I am also using sfml2.0 because it supports vs 2010. I tried using sfml2.3 but It gave me the same error.

[eXpl0it3r]

All versions of SFML support VS 2010, we just stopped providing pre-built packages, as VS 2010 is ancient by now.

I'm actually not sure, but I think with the "modular" VS 2017 installer, you might be able to get a smaller footprint than with VS 2010, but you'd have to uninstall VS 2010 given that you're so low on space.
Or order a new disk.

As for the problem 0000007b is often an indication that you're mixing architecture types. For example compiling as x86 but using the x64 libs.
