I'm just starting to learn SFML with Visual Studio. I am faced with problems that my image doesn't loaded with texture.loadFromFile("path"). I found that someone solved this by changing every sfml-~~.lib in linker-input-additional dependency, to sfml-~~-d.lib. So I changed it and solved it! Now I'm wondering what makes the difference: What's "-d"?
-d is the debug library.
As stated on their installation tutorial:
It is important to link to the libraries that match the configuration: "sfml-xxx-d.lib" for Debug, and "sfml-xxx.lib" for Release. A bad mix may result in crashes.
