Title: SFML2 installation on Linux?
Post by: fatum on September 16, 2011, 05:34:28 am

I've moved the SFML directory inside of the "include" folder to /usr/include/c++/4.4, as well as all of the .a lib files into /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu.  Are these locations the appropriate place for the files to reside?

Here's the bit that I'm testing:

Code: [Select]


#include "SFML/Graphics.hpp"

const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 550;
const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 400;
const int SCREEN_BPP = 32;

sf::RenderWindow App;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
App.Create(sf::VideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_BPP), "Testing!");

while (App.IsOpened())
{
sf::Event event;
while (App.PollEvent(event))
{
switch (event.Type)
{
case sf::Event::Closed:
App.Close();
break;
}
}
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


I'm compiling with:

Code: [Select]


g++ -o test test.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window


This is what is returned:

Code: [Select]


/tmp/ccrxrxoF.o: In function `main':
test.cpp:(.text+0x87): undefined reference to `sf::VideoMode::VideoMode(unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int)'

test.cpp:(.text+0x181): undefined reference to `sf::RenderWindow::~RenderWindow()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


What could the issue be?  Thanks for any help!

Copy all the .so in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib

You may need to do that with the console

No, you should rather set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX CMake variable and "make install" after compiling SFML. Don't copy files manually.

You're linking against SFML 1.6 libraries. You should remove it completely to avoid such problems.

I think using your ditribution's package manager is the simpliest way...

Don't forget that SFML 2 hasn't been released yet.

Sorry! That is true. But on my Arch there is a package for SFML 2 (sfml-git), so I was assuming that most of the distro's have a package for it aswell.

Well, this should work...

1.) Get the SFML git sources.

2.)

Code: [Select]

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ .. -DBUILD_DOC=true -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true


3.)

Code: [Select]

make
make doc
Then as root:

Code: [Select]

make install

Here is the package for Arch (from AUR): link (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48026) (check the PKGBUILD)
