[[ SOLVED ]]
SOLUTION -- Wiped drive and reinstalled Mavericks.
So I followed the wonderfully detailed installation instructions given by this site to install SFML on Mac OSX in XCode, but when I got to the point of initiating the build, XCode gave me 5 errors that read like this:
clang: error: unknown argument: '-frameworksfml-<thing>' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
Where "thing" is system, window, graphics, audio, and network. I've tried re-installing it a couple of times and double checking things. I've tried using the XCode templates. I've tried installing the source. I've also tried using this installation tutorial instead:
http://www.mjbshaw.com/2013/02/building-sfml-2-with-c11-on-os-x.html but still I get the same errors. I've also tried to use this workaround used for similar errors described at
https://github.com/romanbsd/fast-stemmer/issues/9 to no avail. There's been some other minor things I've done but I can't seem to get these errors fixed. It's all become a painful headache that's lasted for four days.
I'm totally at a loss and could really use some help here.
Thanks
-- So I did some more stuff that didn't work. I tried to compile the sample program from the templates using the terminal.
The exact command I executed was:
g++ -o prog main.cpp -lsfml-system -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-audio -lsfml-network
It gave these errors:
