[vc17] Static SFML 3 + Static TGUI => unresolved external symbol __std_min_element_f

[nerudaj]

Description: I can't compile my program when I set both SFML and TGUI to use static libraries. The program compiles and executes succesfully when linked with dynamic libraries. I'd prefer static ones though since one has to copy all DLLs into their build folder and

Can you try updating your Visual Studio to the latest version (MSVC 17.13)?
It is possible that the TGUI libraries were built with a toolset newer than 17.9, which could cause errors like that.

Good call. 17.12.2 on another computer works ok. And I naively thought that Microsoft maintains compatibility within a major version :/
