I'm new to c++ and sfml, and I've been trying to install sfml 2.3 on my computer for making games with c++ in code::blocks. I downloaded sfml and watched this video on how to set it up. I followed everything to the letter. When I tried to run the sample code from the sfml tutorial I got this error: This application has failed to start because sfml-graphics-2.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I searched for solutions to my problem and found someone suggesting to move all the .dll files from your library into the area where the program would run. I went to my library folder in my sfml-2.3 folder, and looked for anything with a .dll ending. I found zero files with this ending. All of the files in this folder end in .a, so I watched another video on how to install sfml with code::blocks this video showed the sfml library folder with a number of files that ended in .dll I searched my computer for all sfml-graphics-2.dll files and came up with zero files again. I then downloaded every different version of sfml and couldn't find any .dll files in any of their lib folders. Am I missing something, or do I just not have the .dll files, and if I don't where can I get them? I'm running widows xp if that helps.

Sfml-window-d-2.dll Download
.a is a Linux file extension for static libraries (Unix 'ar' archive). If you are on a Windows platform, download the correct version on SFML website. Dynamic libraries (DLL) are usually located in SFML-2.3/bin folder. You need to move the ones with a '-d' suffix in your Debug folder and the ones without in your Release folder to be able to run your program properly.

Problem setting up in Visual Studio 2012
Hi all,
This is my first time on this sub, and i saw no formatting rules on the sidebar?
Anyways, i wanted to seek help from this community to solve my current problem with setting up SFML in VS 2012.
In summary I:
Created a new project (empty project)
Adjusted 'All Configurations' reference and lib directories to the SFML folder on my C: drive
Adjusted both Release and Debug 'Additional Dependencies' with the appropriate the file names
Sfml-graphics-d-2.dll Download
Added all the bin files into the same folder as my project
Created a Game.cpp file and included the test program from the official website (found here)
Sfml-graphics-2dll Download Full
Started pulling out my hair
The problem: Every time I compile in Debug or Release mode I get an error that reads: 'The program can't start because sfml-graphics-d-2.dll is missing from your computer'
I checked many stack overflow threads for a fix, they all said to make sure the dll files found in the bin folder were inside the project folder; which I already have.
What could be causing this problem? More importantly, how do we fix it?
Thanks in advance!
