Hello, i have been trying to link sfml for the last hour and a half and still nothing. I re-compiled everything for VS2012, and i made sure i did everything the tutorials said. However i got the error saying it cannot find the .dlls. I put the dlls in the folder where my main.cpp is and still no luck. Is there anyway anyone can help me. I included a .zip file with the project. I have gotten sfml to work before i'm not sure what is going on.

Nvm, i got it to work. It had something to do with the settings.

Just to add this for those that run across this, it sounds like you didn't have it where the .exe you were running was (Debug or Release folder usually).

and i made sure i did everything the tutorials said. However i got the error saying it cannot find the .dlls. I put the dlls in the folder where my main.cpp is and still no luck.

The location of your source files don't matter to the resulting executable. The dlls need to be where your executable is located, like Dragonsoulj said.
