Title: 2.3 - linked frameworks?
Post by: MaximumTrainer on May 12, 2015, 01:38:30 am

I am using SFML 2.1 and wanted to upgrade to 2.3.
I'm using SFML just for audio playback inside a Qt software. (maximumtrainer.com)

For 2.1, I just had to have sfml-audio and sfml-system + sndfile.framework in order to use it.
Now it seems there is more linked libs to sfml-audio (list at the bottom)

Wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to 2.3 on OSX, I upgraded on Windows but I'm having problem with OSX dependencies using @rpath. With 2.1 deployment was easy, but now I have a bunch of install_name_tool to do.  Is there an easy way to integrate 2.3 with Qt that i'm missing?

Thank you for the great framework, I wish it was integrated in Qt instead of the audio they use.

Finally learned what RPATH is, you can set it in Qt .pro file this way:

    #set RPATH (place to look for .dylib & framework by default)
    QMAKE_RPATHDIR += @executable_path/../Frameworks
    QMAKE_RPATHDIR += @executable_path/lib

Still not sure if all the 2.3 frameworks used are compliant LGPL like it was in 2.1?
Good documentation, found my answer : http://www.sfml-dev.org/license.php
Merci!

Now using 2.3 in Windows and OSX and working perfectly.

I was thinking, would it be possible to have some arrangement with Qt and become affiliated? I'm sure they could drop their QAudio module and use SFML, it would be a great thing for Qt and for SFML

Thanks!

Go talk to Qt and Co about that one, cause there is nothing SFML can do that would make that happen - and we couldn't exactly stop them either.

Realistically Qt would never drop their own module for SFML.
