I'm trying to compile one of the samples in the SFML tutorials page (this one), but I'm getting lots of linker errors that I can't make head or tail of. Here's a tiny portion of them: 1>sfml-window-s-d.lib(WindowImplWin32.obj) : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol ?length@?$char_traits@D@std@@SAIPBD@Z (public: static unsigned int __cdecl std::char_traits<char>::length(char const *)) imported 1>sfml-window-s-d.lib(WindowImplWin32.obj) : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol ?size@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QBEIXZ (public: unsigned int __thiscall std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::size(void)const ) imported in function "public: __thiscall sf::priv::WindowImplWin32::WindowImplWin32(class sf::VideoMode,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &,unsigned long,struct sf::WindowSettings &)" (??0WindowImplWin32@priv@sf@@QAE@VVideoMode@2@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@KAAUWindowSettings@2@@Z) 1>sfml-window-s-d.lib(Window.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall std::_Container_base_secure::_Orphan_all(void)const " (__imp_?_Orphan_all@_Container_base_secure@std@@QBEXXZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall std::deque<class sf::Event,class std::allocator<class sf::Event> >::push_back(class sf::Event const &)" (?push_back@?$deque@VEvent@sf@@V?$allocator@VEvent@sf@@@std@@@std@@QAEXABVEvent@sf@@@Z) 1>sfml-window-s-d.lib(VideoMode.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall std::_Container_base_secure::_Orphan_all(void)const " (__imp_?_Orphan_all@_Container_base_secure@std@@QBEXXZ) 1>sfml-window-s-d.lib(VideoModeSupport.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall std::_Container_base_secure::_Orphan_all(void)const " (__imp_?_Orphan_all@_Container_base_secure@std@@QBEXXZ) Before you ask, I have linked under Debug to the following libs: sfml-system-s-d.lib sfml-window-s-d.lib sfml-graphics-s-d.lib sfml-main-d.lib And under Release to these: sfml-system-s.lib sfml-window-s.lib sfml-graphics-s.lib sfml-main.lib Under both build configs, the default libraries(kernel32.lib, user32.lib, gdi32.lib, winspool.libcomdlg32.lib) are included. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yeah, I'd like to statically link here.
Linking dynamically works fine, by the way, but I get an access violation reading exception at the line in which the Window App is created:


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
// Create the main window
sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window"); // HERE IS WHERE I GET THE ERROR

// Start main loop
bool Running = true;
while (Running)
{
App.Display();
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Do you know what that might be about?

Hi

Make sure that your version of Visual C++ matches the one that the SFML libraries were compiled with.

Also make sure that you use the "Multithreaded (debug) DLL" CRT (in your project settings).

Oooh, should have caught that one earlier. I just realized that I'm using VS2010 with the VS2008 SFML libraries.
