Error while trying to use SFML (some LNK error)

Question

i've been searching for an answer but all i've found is some similar problem but the answer don't help me at all.

I'm trying to use SFML for a final projet (we would like to create a game like Minigore) and we are trying to load an image and then put it in a sprite.

here's my code:

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");

while(App.IsOpened())
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    sf::Image image;
    sf::Sprite sprite;

    if(!image.LoadFromFile("BaronsheetBas1.gif"))
    {

    }
    else
    {
        sprite.SetImage(image);
    }
}



    return 0;
}

When i compile, i keep having those errors.

The clock works perfectly (i have tried it alone) but when i tried to load an image then put it into a sprite, those errors appeared.

I have tried to include those librairies to my project, but errors are still there - sfml-main.lib - sfml-system-s.lib and sfml-system-s-d.lib - sfml-graphics-s.lib and sfml-graphics-s-d.lib - sfml-window-s.lib and sfml-window-s-d.lib

I don't really know whta to do now :/

If any of you guys have an answer or can help me find it, it would be so nice to share it :)

Thanks !!!

Note: sorry for my english, it's not my forst language.

Answer 1

If you are linking to the static libraries of sfml (sfml-system-s.lib etc. ), make sure that the SFML_STATIC variable is set in the preprocessing definitions.

In visual studio you can do it in the preprocessing settings ("preprocessor definitions") as shown here: http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php

You definitely should link to the static libs on windows if you want to create a game which runs on other machines which do not have sfml dlls installed.

Answer 2

Found it guys,

i had to put into Linker Input the librairies

sfml-graphics.lib, sfml-window.lib, sfml-system.lib

WITHOUT putting -s ....

One last question for you guys, is it normal that i had to put all three .dll in my project, because visual studio was saying it could not find the files ?

Thank you very much !

Answer 3

You have a wrong slash in your include statement

This

#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

Should be:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
