Title: installing sfml on osx 10.6.8
Post by: yrro on September 23, 2014, 03:45:47 am

I am having a hard time getting SFML working on my computer running osx 10.6.8.  I have tried both the gcc and clang packages, and haven't had any success with the install.sh script included, running it produces the following output:

ditto: /Library/Frameworks/freetype.framework/Resources: Is a directory
ditto: /Library/Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/Current: Is a directory
ditto: /Library/Frameworks/sndfile.framework/Resources: Is a directory
ditto: /Library/Frameworks/sndfile.framework/Versions/Current: Is a directory
Couldn't install extlibs/

I've also tried building sfml from the source using cmake, but cmake terminates after a few lines with an error saying that 10.6.8 is not a supported system.

10.6 support has been drop recently. If you want to use SFML on such old OS you have to stick with 2.1 or earlier. Download the SDK from the download page (and not github unless you use tags) and if the install script doesn't work, try the other method: by hand. It's also explained in the getting started tutorial.
