Title: Building 1.6
Post by: mongrol on October 04, 2011, 01:01:54 pm

Hi folks,
Using the amusing power of bullet points I shall explain my predicament.

* New laptop with ARCH linux on it
* ARCH only has 1.99git
* My game needs 1.6 until 2.0 is stable on major distros
* Download 1.6 SDK
* Readme points to tutorial on website to build
* Tutorial on website is for cmake and sfml 2.0
* There's no CMakeLists.txt in the 1.6 archive.

No idea how to get 1.6 installed. The archive doesn't hold valid instructions.

Hmm, after reading that back, bullet points may not be that amusing. Love sfml, it's been great so far. Any help much appreciated.

Only if you look in 2.0 tutorials. In 1.6 tutorials there are tutorials for... 1.6 ;)

Thanks Laurent. I'm so used to typing cmake ./ or .configure, make etc I didn't see the tiny instructions of running just "make install" :)
