How do I add SFML libraries to my project?

The next step is to link your application to the SFML libraries (.lib files) that your code will need. SFML is made of 5 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.

Do SFML modules depend on one another?

You might have noticed from the table that SFML modules can also depend on one another, e.g. sfml-graphics-s.lib depends both on sfml-window-s.lib and sfml-system-s.lib. If you static link to an SFML library, make sure to link to the dependencies of the library in question, as well as the dependencies of the dependencies and so on.
