How do i link the SFML libraries in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I've been trying for hours and I can't seem to do it I've downloaded extensions and asked for help around but everything is just confusing me at this point. I want to include the SFML libs in my project and I'm trying to use the the Visual Studio Code editor for it but it just won't comply for some reason.

I've been trying this for hours yesterday also but it just doesn't want to work.

I know the topic is a couple years old now but since I was searching for a way to link the sfml lib in vs code and I first ended up here, I thought I would share this git repo I found, which works pretty well for me so far:

https://github.com/andrew-r-king/sfml-vscode-boilerplate

I'm not using SFML 2.5.1 though, so I had to bring a small change in the c_cpp_properties.json file (I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and installed sfml through package manager)

here my c_cpp_properties.json file:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Linux",
            "intelliSenseMode": "gcc-x64",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/src",
                "/usr/local/include/**",
                "/usr/include/**"
            ],
            "defines": [],
            "cStandard": "c11",
            "cppStandard": "c++17",
            "forcedInclude": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/src/PCH.hpp"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}
