Visual Studio 2019 compatibility
« on: June 18, 2021, 10:08:09 pm »
I'm following the "SFML and Visual Studio" Tutorial on this site. It states:

"You must download the package that matches your version of Visual C++. Indeed, a library compiled with VC++ 10 (Visual Studio 2010) won't be compatible with VC++ 12 (Visual Studio 2013) for example. If there's no SFML package compiled for your version of Visual C++, you will have to build SFML yourself."

This implies that the "Visual C++ 15 (2017) - 32-bit" package from the download page is not compatible with Visual Studio 2019. Is that actually the case?

No, with the Universal CRT, you can use the libraries across multiple Visual Studio versions, meaning VS 2017 also work with VS 2019
