General / Installing SFML with gcc (on ubuntu)

« on: March 02, 2010, 01:34:13 pm »

sorry for the bump, ran into another problem. "Error: GL/gl.h : No such file or directory."

It seems like it has trouble with openGL. So for those other that might have trouble getting this to work on linux remember to download glut:

sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

Everything seems to work now and my game wich i made on windows runs smoothly with openGL was installed

Hey, and thanks for the reply. I did just download the big files, but with the unstable eduroam connection currently at my university it took a while ^^.

Anyways I tried the same with the full SDK.

I first did a normal make and got a lot of output. (Yes i ran it through sudo).
It caame up text with entereing and leaving directories (no errors) so i assume things worked.

Made a normal hello world app, also using the sf::Clock and print time. And everything linked and compiled fine and time also printed out nicely So everything seems to work all right now.

Thank you for your help, I will now continue exploring the world of game-programming with SFML

Hi.

I have for a long time been using SFML together with windows for a long time and really like this API and want to aswell use it on my laptop wich runs ubuntu. I downloaded the package with liberary and header files for linux and tried to followed the instructions on the tutorial: but when i try to install it with make i get an error:

steffen@steffen-laptop:~/Skrivebord/SFML-1.5$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for steffen:
cd: 1: can't cd to ./src/SFML
make: *** [install] Error 2

any suggestions?
