Linker errors in dev c++ while linking SFML files - linker

Question

I have attached SFML files in my main.cpp file for writing some games in c++. I wanted to add some images so, I included SFML files with the help of following includes:
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <time.h>
using namespace sf;
When I compiled my source code then linker errors like
undefined reference to __imp occurred.
Following are the errors:

There are many other errors like this.

Answer 1

In SFML you need to compile with some flags :
g++ -o ... -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

Answer 2

if you are using an IDE, you i'd want to do something like this:
(right click on your project, click build options, and then click linker settings)
if not do like sanka said
