What includes are you trying now ?
Have you tried the first Code::Block tutorial ? C::B is the future of Dev-C++ and is based on the same techno.

The includes are in the code. Your project must be able to see files included. You have two possibilities to do that :
- copying the included files in the include directory of your copiler
- copying the included files in some place near your source

For the first case, you use #include <>
For the second, #include ""

Isn't it simple ?

Which directory did you copy, and where ?
You have normally to copy only the include directory in the compiler's include directory, in order to end with something like :

Code: [Select]

- compiler
  |- include
     |- sfml

thats what i do, but my compiler always does 1 of 2 things: either 1) doesnt reconize the include files and gives me a linker error, or 2) reconizes them but give me a crap load of parse errors

If you use "using namespace sf", every SFML class will be accessible in the global scope. This means that both the Thread class and the Thread instance will conflict, because they have the same name. Just change the instance name (MyThread, or whatever).
