Title: Installing SFML for Linux (Debian)
Post by: Zerby on December 07, 2013, 01:28:44 pm

Now, to start off, I'm fairly new to Linux overall. I need a pretty simple server side app for my project, and I came across SFML which provides and simple library for networking.

I tried to install SFML for my virtual Linux machine running Debian, using the tutorial here:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-linux.php

So, I downloaded the GCC - 64 bits package from here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/, extracted the tar and cd'd to it. Then I ran "sudo make install", and got the error:

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

Tried to google a bit, but couldn't come up with a solution.. Any help?

There's no makefile in the precompiled packages. Please read the tutorial (the one that matches the version that you use...).

Ugh, now I feel stupid.. I followed a link directly to the tutorial, didn't realize it was an old link to the 1.6 version.. Everything is working fine now, thank you.
