Exactly which libraries is SFML based on?

Hehe, I had nearly the same question the same time :o

The answer is in the "How to start" tutorials :

Quote

Graphics requires devil, freetype, and zlib.
Audio requires libsndfile and openal

You can also look at the contents of the extlibs folder (either from the SDK or from the extlibs archive).

I did. :> But since ubuntu is binary based I had to get some dependencies. Didn't get that libIL first, but then realized it was DevIL. :)

Hehe, ok. I should put the exact names of the packages in the tutorials, sometimes it doesn't match the library name, like DevIL.

Or far better would be to make an example line for ubuntu/debian, that would be something like
install:
"sudo apt-get install foo bar"
"sudo make install"
build:
"sudo apt-get install foo bar-dev"
"make"
"sudo make install"

Or even better... provide DEB / RPM packages that automatically take care of the dependencies. Some people are working on such packages, so hopefully they will be available soon.

Title: Libs for MacOS X
Post by: gamecoder5 on January 21, 2008, 02:51:35 am

I'm trying to set this up on the Mac OS X.  I'm still learning Mac, and am wondering, is there an easy way to install these without having to compile?  I know I can eventually get passed this myself, but when I go to distribute the game I'm working on, I dont want to have the customers to have to compile this stuff in order to play the game.  Am I missing something or is there no way around this?

Thank you,

Scott.

AFAIK, your app should include everything in the .dmg you want to distribute. The best idea would be to include you game, the assets and the compiled libraries inside the package. You might already know this, but you can find a simple guide to make your own DMGs here (http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-DMG-File-on-a-Mac).
