I'm tried compiling this program copied from the sfml tutorial
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main()
{
// create the window
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");
// run the program as long as the window is open
while (window.isOpen())
{
// check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
// "close requested" event: we close the window
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
// clear the window with black color
window.clear(sf::Color::Black);
// draw everything here...
// window.draw(...);
// end the current frame
window.display();
}
return 0;
}
Using the following tasks.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "g++",
"command": "g++",
"args": [
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"-ID:\\Personal\\SFML\\include",
"-LD:\\Personal\\SFML\\lib",
"-lsfml-graphics",
"-lsfml-window",
"-lsfml-system",
"-lsfml-network"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\g++.exe"
}
]
}
But each time I did so, it keeps showing "undefined reference to" errors for each of the lines with sfml stuff.

This keeps happening even after I included the dll files into the project as suggested from another post. Am I doing anything wrong here?
Turns out I got the wrong version of SFML. It works perfectly now.
