Starting from SFML 2.2, when static linking, you will have to link all of SFML's dependencies to your project aswell. Static SFML libraries have the "-s" suffix: "sfml-xxx-s-d.lib" for Debug, and"sfml-xxx-s.lib" for Release.In this case, you'll also need to define the SFML_STATIC macro in the preprocessor options of your project. If you want to get rid of these DLLs and have SFML directly integrated into your executable,you must link to the static version. The settings shown here will result in your application being linked to the dynamic version of SFML, the one thatneeds the DLL files. It is important to link to the libraries that match the configuration: "sfml-xxx-d.lib" for Debug, and "sfml-xxx.lib" forRelease. Add all the SFMLlibraries that you need, for example "sfml-graphics.lib", "sfml-window.lib" and "sfml-system.lib". SFML is made of5 modules (system, window, graphics, network and audio), and there's one library for each of them.Libraries must be added in the project's properties, in Linker Input Additional Dependencies.

The next step is to link your application to the SFML libraries (.lib files) that your code will need.
These paths are the same in both Debug and Release configuration, so you can set them globally for your project("All configurations").
The path to the SFML libraries ( /lib) to Linker General Additional Library Directories The path to the SFML headers ( /include) to C/C++ General Additional Include Directories Now we need to tell the compiler where to find the SFML headers (.hpp files), and the linker where to find theSFML libraries (.lib files). Check the "Empty project" box if you don't want to be annoyed with auto-generated code.For the purpose of this tutorial, you should create a main.cpp file and add it to the project, so that we have accessto the C++ settings (otherwise Visual Studio doesn't know which language you're going to use for this project).We'll explain what to put inside later. The wizardoffers a few options to customize the project: select "Console application" if you need the console, or "Windowsapplication" if you don't want it. The first thing to do is choose what kind of project to create: you must select "Win32 application". Copying headers and libraries to your installation ofVisual Studio is not recommended, it's better to keep libraries in their own separate location, especially if youintend to use several versions of the same library, or several compilers.

You can then unpack the SFML archive wherever you like. If there's no SFMLpackage compiled for your version of Visual C++, you will have to build SFML yourself. Indeed, a library compiled with VC++9 (Visual Studio 2008) won't be compatible with VC++ 10 (Visual Studio 2010) for example.

You must download the package that matches your version of Visual C++. It will explain how toconfigure your SFML projects.įirst, you must download the SFML SDK from the download page. This tutorial is the first one you should read if you're using SFML withthe Visual Studio IDE (Visual C++ compiler).
