Link Errors w/ SFML 2.4 (C++) - c++

Question

For a while now, I have been trying to use the SFML library for C++.
However, whenever I try to run my program, I get a slew of build errors revolving around undefined symbols. I am building from Visual Studio and I have added the include directory, the additional libraries, and the all the DLLs in bin into BOTH the source directory and the build directory. Still, I cannot get the program to build.
My Code:
#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>
int main() {
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(640, 380), "Test Window");
while (window.isOpen()) {
// events
window.clear();
// drawing
}
system("pause");
}
Errors:
Include Directories: SFML-2.4.2/include
Lib Directories: SFML-2.4.2/lib
Linker Input:
sfml-main-d.lib
sfml-graphics-d.lib
sfml-window-d.lib
sfml-system-d.lib
sfml-audio-d.lib
sfml-network-d.lib

I know this is like one and a half year old but I had the same errors and I have resolved them.
The following Pastebin files are my config and task files which(in my case work fine with Visual Studio Code Version 1.32.3 read the bottom for what you will have to change)
Date:2019-03-14
Electron:3.1.6
Chrome:66.0.3359.181
Node.js:10.2.0
V8:6.6.345.32
Os: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134
c_cpp_properties.json: https://pastebin.com/3gw8J4d2``
task.json: https://pastebin.com/s1rjswWG``
IMPORTANT:
change the following:
(If you have MinGW installed on the standard path)
c_cpp_properties.json: K:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/include has to be changed
to your installation path of SFML be sure to change it in the browse path too!!!
tasks.json:
"-IK:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/", change K:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/include to your
installation path of SFML
"-LK:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/lib", change K:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/lib again to
your installation path of SFML
a few mistakes I made:
I didn't delete the K: in "-LK:/libs/SFML-2.5.1/lib"
I didn't have g++ in command at the top of tasks.json
I didn't use the right compiling/link paths (search for all paths you
use in your browser before giving up)
A few helpful Links:
https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.5.1/ (for MinGW be sure to
select GCC 7.3.0 MinGW (DW2) - 32-bit)
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp (Documentation on
how to compile in Vs with c++)
https://discordapp.com/invite/nr4X7Fh (Discord Server of SFML where
are a lot of helpful people for the library)
I hope I helped
