Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Link Error 1104

A while ago I attempted to make make a game using c++ and SDL. I am now taking a class that requires me to program in C++ and I would like to use VS as the IDE. I uninstalled VS 2012 and upgraded to 2013. I am able to compile c# code but when I make a c++ project I get the error

error LNK1104: cannot open file 'SDL.lib'

I went to the project properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> input and made sure that SDL was not referenced there. My Additional Dependencies now has the value %(AdditionalDependencies). The rest of the options are blank. I also made sure that in VC++ Directories the Include Directories did not include anything related to SDL. Having done all of this I still get the same error. Is is somehow inheriting the SDL linker. The project only contains a hello world program which does not include any other libraries. Any help is appreciated.

You can try this:

  1. Right click the project and choose Properties.
  2. Open Configuration Properties --> Linker -->Input.
  3. In the Ignore Specific Default Libraries entry, add SDL.lib.

BTW, whatever you add in your Include Directories cannot cause a linkage error (and neither can any include that you have in your project).
