Program crash when ported to windows - c++

Question

As the title says, I have successfully compiled, linked and ran a program made in sfml-1.6 on Linux Mint 14. I used g++ for compiling. However as soon as I moved the source files to Windows and tried to compile to the Windows equivalent of the sfml libraries, it crashes. The program compiles and links just fine but it crashes BEFORE it reaches main. I have made sure I dont have any global objects/variables in my own .h files. But I cannot do it for the sfml library. I suspected that it might be because the library was broken so I ported the code for sfml 2.0., and the problem persists. Any clues on what I am doing wrong? I have also made sure I dont use any platform specific headers.
Here is my main.cpp
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "World.h"
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>

That is the whole main.cpp, if you need to look at the other sources, ask me. But the program crashes BEFORE it reaches main. It doesn't even reach the enum define.

Answer 1

This could be due to any undefined or unspecified behavior in
the constructors of objects with static lifetime. One of the
most frequence causes, however, is order of initialization
issues. Do some of your objects with static lifetime use other
objects with static lifetime in their constructor? For example,
does the constructor for player use a static object defined in
World? Or even something from SFML? (A quick glance shows some
objects with static lifetime in the library. You shouldn't use
any of these in any of your constructors of objects with static
lifetime.)

Answer 2

Run the program in the debugger (windbg.exe), that should show you where the exception occurs, with helpful progress text in the output window about what's been loaded so far, any 'swallowed' exceptions, and you can take it from there.

Answer 3

It's possible the crash is due to some incompatibility between how the EXE was compiled and how the library was compiled... check your code-generation flags, character sets, etc.
