Title: I dont get sfgui
Post by: Flaze07 on July 09, 2017, 02:59:33 pm
I dont get the installation...
it said building it only if you want to
yet in the installation page of the wiki it said to build it..

so...does building it means turning it into .dll ?
if so there's already .dll

 ??? ??? ???

oh and I am using codeblock...so...how do I link it...I know how to make it search for the includes...
but stuff like linking

example :
sfml-graphics

how is that done with sfgui

SFGUI requires you to have a basic understanding on how to build and use libraries. If you don't understand what a DLL is, then you don't have that basic understanding and you're best of reading up on that topic.

It's your own responsibility to learn and understand the tools you use and it's not some library's task to teach you so. ;)

Also SFGUI has its own forum.

ah...where's the forum ?? is it in github ??
anyways...what I mean is do I need to make the dll ??
there's already a dll file named sfgui.dll in bin


so do I put this in codeblock's linker settings-link library

sfgui

based on linking sfml experience

Actually, it doesn't. SFGUI website redirects to github page and there's no forum.
