D / How to build DSFML from the SVN
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:37:23 pm »
Cheer up. Things still work!
I just grabbed the entire SFML from the SVN and managed to build DSFML.
Here's how I did it, I think. I'm currently on Windows XP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Get the SFML distro from SVN
With a command-line svn you type
svn co https://sfml.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sfml sfml
Using TortoiseSVN [http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads] you just create a folder,
right-click and select "SVN checkout" and enter
https://sfml.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sfml, get the HEAD branch.
You probably shoud avoid doing any of this stuff in folders with spaces
anywhere in the path. So don't go playing around in "My Documents".
Below, "trunk" refers to the folder "trunk" that
you get from the SVN. (Yes, I know you can select what to get...)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Install Code::Blocks
Get version with with MinGW [http://www.codeblocks.org/]
Some people have had problems with code::blocks not setting up the
compiler properly, here's a fix:
Run Code::Blocks, go into Settings > Compiler and Debugger
> Toolchain Executables and click "auto-detect"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Build SFML. (This step may not be necessary?)
Make sure codeblocks is on your path
CD to the trunk\build\codeblocks\batch-build and run build.bat
this builds a bunch of .a and .dll files to trunk\lib\mingw
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Build CFSML
open the codeblocks workspace trunk\CSFML\codeblocks\CFSML.workspace
In Build > Select target, select "Release WIN32_DLL"
Do Build > build workspace
this builds a bunch of .dll files into \trunk\CSFML\lib\mingw
copy all the .dll files to trunk\DSFML\samples\dsfml\bin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Build DSFML
make sure dsss and dmd are on your path
cd to trunk\DSFML\samples\dsfml and run "dsss build"
trunk\DSFML\samples\dsfml\bin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it! (I think - as I said I'm a total D noob)
To make your own DSFML app, just make a new folder in "samples", add it
to the dsss.conf (you'll see how the others look) and do "dsss build" again.
