Weird linker errors in VS2010, after compiling SFML.

Post by epicasian »

I've posted this in the SFML forums like two days ago and haven't got a response yet.


I'm getting these weird linker errors like:

Code: Select all

and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've compiled SFML 1.6 with VS2010, and it compiled fine.

Re: Weird linker errors in VS2010, after compiling SFML.

I had crazy errors with SFML, are you sure you are using the -d libraries for debug? If your set up is for debug make sure you do that. A link to what exactly I mean is here:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php

I also had problems with linking to the dynamic libs. Farther down on the page that i just mentioned is says that you must put SFML_DYNAMIC in preprocessor definitions.

I'm not trying to link dynamically. I want to link statically so I don't have to redistribute the DLLs.

I have no idea why VS2010 is throwing these errors at me. I might be linking to the wrong Windows libs, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the help, though

well for static remember to link in this order sfml-main sfml-graphics-s sfml-window-s sfml-system-s

if thats not it i will look into this for you because i remember something similar happening to me before

Re: Weird linker errors in VS2010, after compiling SFML.

Post by Falco Girgis »

Every non-warning link error is an unresolved external symbol. Surely you're forgetting to link against something?

Linker errors are disgusting. Template errors are the MOST disgusting. Combine them and it's horrendous.

I am truly sorry guys, I feel like such an idiot now.

So, I compiled the static SFML libraries. But the problem was, that I was LINKING to the SFML distributed VS2008 precompiled libraries.

Also, I completely agree with you Falco. It's really hard to decipher a linker error when it looks like:

Code: Select all

warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol ??1?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QAE@XZ (public: __thiscall 
Thanks for the help, guys :D
