Utterly Confused

I have been working with SDL and I have discovered recently SFML.. it seems a lot simpler and just generally easier... I want to switch but their documentation may be the worst on the planet. I have gotten an application to compile but every time I go for a window my VS screams at me...

I followed every step in their install for VS tutorial...Am I missing something obvious?

Strange I started anew today with SMFL for the first time and had zero problems setting up visual studio c++ express 2008. What errors are you getting?

What do you you think is missing in the documentation? I think it's one of the best documentations out there ;)

Did you define SFML_DYNAMIC in your preprocessor settings? Are you using release libraries in debug mode / debug libraries in release mode? Did you follow these steps exactly: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php ?

Are you using Visual C++ 2010? If so, switch back to VC++ 2008.

Yo K-Bal, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish. But SDL has one of the best documentations of all time!

Agreed... Not a whole lot of good beginner tutorials, but awesome documentation. ;)
