Title: Can't understand CMake tutorial for SFML 2
Post by: Chuckleluck on April 12, 2012, 05:36:14 pm

Excuse me if I'm incompetent.
I'm fairly new to C++, and after using SFML 1.6 for a while, I've decided to try out SFML 2 (my algorithms weren't very efficient which lead to poor performance, and I'm hoping SFML 2 will run a bit better).  Thing is, I don't understand the CMake tutorial.  At all.

If you need my computer information, I wish to use SFML 2 with the MinGW compiler on Code::Blocks, and my computer OS is Windows 7.

To start off:
How exactly do I run CMake-gui?  I can't find an .exe file anywhere.

You should wait for a few days, SFML 2.0 RC will be released soon, the Windows packages are already done.

After you installed CMake, you should have a cmake-gui.exe application.

I suppose I'll just wait for the RC then  :D  Is there a set date for when it will come out?

You can try using this tutorial, look for
Building SFML 2.0: Visual C++/NMake (Windows) | MinGW (Windows) | GCC (Ubuntu/Unix)
