Title: SFML CMake Windows
Post by: Zeus-Ammon on March 14, 2020, 05:29:22 pm

Hi,

Im using SFML as a base to build another library on top. Until now I have been working on Linux with cmake (SFML from repositories) and i've been able to build my library with this simple CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(my-lib)

find_library(SYS sfml-system)
find_library(GRAPHICS sfml-graphics)
find_library(WINDOW sfml-window)

add_library(
    my-lib
    SHARED
    source files .....
)

target_include_directories(my-lib PUBLIC ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(my-lib "${SYS}" "${GRAPHICS}" "${WINDOW}")
 

This generates my-lib.so which is exactly what I need to use elsewhere.

On Windows "find_library()" does not seem to find the libraries even after I have compiled SFML from source with nmake and running nmake install which installed SFML on Program Files.

Any help would be immensly appreciated.

That's not how you're supposed to find SFML. Please read this: https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=24070.0
