Im trying to use the SFML library in Visual Studio 2019. Ended up having that error. I created binary files using source code and cmake which was set defaulted to x64 generator. I followed and linked all the libraries and dependencies.

I even followed this and couldn't get to resolve the issue

#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;
}

I'm new to the VS and programming. Any help especially noob friendly would be appreciated

The error is caused by you trying to mix 32 bit and 64 bit files. If your project is 64 bit (x64), you'll also need a 64 bit of SFML (and all other dependencies). Same is true for 32 bit (x86).

  • While making binary files the cmake generator was set to x64 so my files are x64 bit if im not wrong? What should i do then? Build new files keeping generator set to x84? – zeneks Nov 19 '19 at 06:03
  • @zeneks That depends on you. You can use either on 64 bit Windows, you just have to use the same architecture for SFML and your own program. – Mario Nov 19 '19 at 07:49
  • i downloaded the 64 bit version of SFML libraries and it worked. – zeneks Nov 19 '19 at 11:50
