Static linking sfml errors

Question

I've been trying to statically link sfml to a c++ project, but It always gives me compiler errors, does anyone know what's going on here and how to fix it;

edit:

This is the code that produced the error:

and this is what I've put into the Linker/include/additional dependencies section:

I hope that's all you need, but if there's anything else, please be specific (I'm new to this)

edit 2: Here are all the errors:

Answer 1

Seems like you're using an outdated version of SFML that still relies on libjpeg, which you didn't link (since it's no longer required in newer versions).

Ideally, download the latest source from the official repository and compile it using CMake, which will give you compatible and up to date files.
