Title: Developing using Eclipse in Ubuntu
Post by: Jamie_Edwards on December 17, 2015, 09:26:36 pm

Hi guys,

Was trying to find out how I can go about developing my own game using SFML in Eclipse on Ubuntu.

I did what the wiki said and installed SFML onto my system but I cannot for the life of me find where it's all installed to.

I'm trying to use Eclipse and of course, you need to know where the library is and where the includes are.

I'm able to get it all working and compiling in Code::Blocks but due to the program being extremely buggy on my system I'm refraining from using it indefinitely.

So my question is as follows:

Where did SFML install to on my Ubuntu Linux System?

Thanks

Jamie.

Using Ubuntu 15.10
Eclipse Mars.1
SFML2.0

What do you mean with "install"? Through a package manager?

Anyway, a common directory is /usr/local. However, I'd expect that Eclipse were smart enough to look in standard paths...

So it turns out that Eclipse is smart enough to find the include. It's also able to find SFMLs non-static library.

My goal is to use the static version of SFML... (Given that I've come over from WIndows) but I could be completely wrong with how SFML works in Linux.

Does SFML have a static library for Linux?
