I'm having a problem with SFML

[Skipcast]

I just got it, i think i installed it correctly, but it's giving me link errors when compiling(same thing with the samples)

My config:

You need to link against the sfml libraries. In Project properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies you need to add the sfml libraries you will be using. I normally add:

sfml-audio-s.lib
sfml-system-s.lib
sfml-graphics-s.lib
sfml-window-s.lib
sfml-main.lib

for statically linking them.

There is no requirement to link against sfml-main.

Right, thanks.

Removing the sfml-main dependency causes me to get a link error.

You need sfml-main if you want to set the subsystem to windows.

Ah, thanks alot, it's working now :smile:

No you don't.

All of my SFML projects have had the subsystem on windows and I've never linked against sfml-main.
It could have something to do with me using WinMain

Yea, I am using main and relying on SFML to do the WinMain for me.

Yup.

I will change that now.

It does. Sfml-main makes it possible to use the normal main when compiling with winmain.

Edit: :ninja:

It makes no difference to the size of any of my SFML projects, so I will just leave it as it was, looks nicer.

You need to add the libraries to your project.

Go to:

Project:
Common Properties:
Linker:
Input:

And in the additional dependencies put the libraries. Be sure to add at the end of each library a "-d" if it's compiling in debug. ;)
