General / Can't get SFML to work or install
« on: February 18, 2015, 11:01:56 pm »
I'm using Windows and Visual Studios 2013 for my compiler.
I downloaded the correct (32 bit) SFML download and it was (by default) downloaded with the Winrar icon. I unzipped the files to a folder and I assumed that was all I needed to do. I searched the downloaded file and saw no '.exe' 'installation' or 'setup' files so I thought it only needed to be downloaded not installed (possibly the root of the problem).
I followed the Tutorial rigorously and I can't get SFML to work. I am guessing that the root of the issue is that I never actually installed SFML. I thought that one only needed to download the files and not install them because I never saw any link within the file to install SFML. I attached a screenshot of the unzipped download file extracted to somewhere on my computer. Is this correct because I don't know where I am going wrong!! Please help!!! I've been searching forever for answers!!
