Hi, I only have sfml 1.6 with my package manager and thought I would try and install 2.1. Unfortunately I'm not clear about how to install 2.1 after having read through the instructions several times.
I downloaded the 2.1 bundle and ran cmake-gui. I followed all of the instructions, getting all the dependencies installed and 'built' sfml in my home directory in a folder named sfml-build. What do I do from here to install sfml into a system wide path? How can I start to use it? With the 1.6 build I simply type "g++ -o someapp someapp.cpp -lsfml-system" and everything works. Ideally I want to set up my system so that 2.1 works in the same way without having to explicitly specify different paths.
If I can't get this working I will just continue with 1.6 Thanks

This does not seem to help me unfortunately

I figured it out -
1. cd into sfml-build
2. make install clean
