SFML Very Confusing

[Galaxy7games]

1. On the sfml tutorial for using visual studio, it wants you to link all 5 modules (graphics, audio, window, network, ect). There is a picture of what it should look like. It says that under c++>>linker>>input>>additional dependencies on release mode it should say "sfml-graphics.lib sfml-window.lib sfml-systen.lib sfml-network.lib sfml-audio.lib kernel3". On a video I watched it wanted me to put more than that. Is the one on the website correct?

2. Underneath the picture of what your supposed to put, it has a warning:
It is important to link to the libraries that match the configuration: "sfml-xxx-d.lib" for Debug, and "sfml-xxx.lib" for Release. A bad mix may result in crashes.

3. I'm not sure if my library is correct because whenever I try t debug it it says that the file can't be found. The error reads: Error 1 error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'. The file reads "C:\Users\Jace\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\SFML Test\SFML Test\sfml-graphics-d.lib(sfml-graphics-d-2.dll)"


Should I change anything? Does this affect what I should put in my library? Thank you for all help!

You have to link to the lib that matches the configuration.
sfml-*.lib -- release DLL
sfml-*-s.lib -- release static
sfml-*-d.lib -- debug DLL
sfml-*-s-d.lib --debug static

So for debug dynamic build (VS defaults to dynamic) link the debug DLL libs and for realease the release DLL libs.

I personally link statically on windows so I don't have to move DLLs around, but it requires more settings changes.

You're using x64 libs on a x86 machine. Just redownload the SFML lib for Visual Studio x86

The version I was using was SFML 2.1 for visual C++ 2012 64-bit for windows. I deleted that and am now using a 32-bit. When I debug it, it says it can't find the .exe, but I had previously hit the save all button.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}  

This is my .cpp. I don't have a header file, but I think I'm supposed to. One of the errors says "cannot open SFML/Graphics.hpp. No such file or directory"



I'm not sure if my libraries are correct, but even if they weren't, shouldn't it at least be able to find th header file?
