LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
« on: October 08, 2011, 11:39:10 pm »
Hello,

    I am new here.  Just installed your SDK and am trying to work my way through the tutorials.  I got up to the http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/window-window.php section and then I started getting these error messages.  It couldn't be the code, because it is a direct copy (download) from the tutorials.  Here is the message I got:

    I had posted the same problem on GameDev but this forum is probably a much better place for question.  

    Does anybody know what I did wrong?


Thanks,

You didn't link to sfml-window.
