I've just begun to use c++ and SFML, and everything FINALLY ran fine. Before I would get Undefined Reference Errors, but I realized that I had been downloading the wrong type of SFML, getting SJLJ instead of DW2. The problem was fixed, but was replaced with another; now whenever I run an SFML program, it opens a small windows:
Sfml free download. Arkanoid SFML This is the re-factored Arkanoid game using SFML library implemented in C++. The original version wa. Download sfml-system-2.dll.7z How to install sfml-system-2.dll: Copy file sfml-system-2.dll to the installation directory of the program that is requesting sfml-system-2.dll.
It says:
The program can't start because sfml-graphics-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
And then when you press 'Ok' or closed the window, the program would stop working. NOT TO BE CONFUSED: the program never opened, on the console did.
Here is the Code (probably useless) directly copied and pasted from the codeblocks tutorial site:

SFML is dynamically linked by default, which means that you need to place sfml-graphics-2.dll (along with the dll files of any other SFML subsystems you use) inside the same directory as your executable.
Copy all dll files from main SFML > bin directory and paste them into your project folder. In my case it is C:UsersmynameDocumentsVisual Studio 2017SFMLSFML
and if you want to run just the exe file. Place all dll files the same directory as the main exe file.
I had a similar problem. My error was when I was linking the libraries in the Compiler setting I had forgot to add the suffix '-s-d'. This ending allows the compiler and debugger to function properly.
Best option is Copy All the .dll files from SFML-2.4.2 > bin. And past them to C: > Windows > System32 folder. That's all you need to do.Then Run your Program.you will be able to run it.

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)
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!
