Compilation of SFML

[fayastone]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying since few days to install SFML on my computer in order to use it with Code::blocks on my windows 7.

A long way was wainting for me and I think I've done the most part of it.

I've installed Cmake, mingw and codeblocks. Downloaded SFML sources (from http://sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/, the last link : "All Source code").

Then I followed the tutorial http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/compile-with-cmake-fr.php to compile SFML.

I did it because when following this tutorial : http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-cb.php , I got an error saying it was 'Impossible to find the begginning of the _gxx... procedural" something like this.

So I followed point to point the tutorial to compile it and in the end, the SFML was succefully compiled.
But I see that the result is far to be the expected :
-There is no directory named "bin", the ".dll" are in the directory "lib" with the ".a" files.
-The is no "include" directory (only what you can see on the screenshot)
-The under-directories of the compiled SFML are full of "Cmake[...]" files.

To compile I used the command "mingw32-make all".

Could you help me solve this ?

Thank you for reading.

mingw32-make install

... as explained in the tutorial

Ok thank you very much, It worked and all the directories are installed.

I typed this command and got a failure error, due to the fact that if my CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX --> C:/Program Files(x86)/SFML do not exists the directory won't be created.

Also after having my compield SFML I still got the error :

the procedure entry point __gxx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++6

I solved this thanks to this link :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18668003/the-procedure-entry-point-gxx-personality-v0-could-not-be-located-in-the-dnyam

Only have to move the libstdc++6.dll from minGW/bin to the executive folder of my project. Now, the test works perfectly.

Thank you very much again for your answer and explanations

The directory is created automatically, but since you need the admin rights to create something under C:/Program Files(x86), it failed in your case (it would have worked if you had launched the console where you typed "make install" with admin rights).
