Here is what works:

Project CMakeLists.txt

(click to show/hide)

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.17)

project (games VERSION 0.0.1)

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "clang.exe")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "clang++.exe")

add_subdirectory (SFML)
add_subdirectory (hello-world)

hello-sfml CMakeLists.txt

(click to show/hide)

add_executable (hello-sfml hello-sfml.cpp)

target_link_libraries (hello-sfml
    sfml-system
    sfml-window
    sfml-graphics
)

Building from command line:

(click to show/hide)

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -DEXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -G Ninja
$ ninja hello-sfml

General / Static Linking Examples

« on: February 21, 2020, 06:27:32 pm »

Hey All,

I am building SFML from source, on Windows using CMake, Ninja and Clang. Here are my toolchain's versions (from cmd):

$ cmake -version
cmake version 3.17.0-rc1

$ clang --version
clang version 9.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_900/final)
Target: i686-pc-windows-msvc
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\Llvm\bin

$ ninja --version
1.8.2

My project's root has a SFML directory, a build directory (for cmake output) and a CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.17)
project (game C CXX)

set (CMAKE_C_COMPILER "clang")
set (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "clang++")

add_subdirectory (SFML)

I configure the project as follows:

$ cmake .. -G Ninja -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE -DSFML_BUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: C:/Users/mattp/source/game/build


And build:

ninja -j all

However, when launching build/SFML/examples/pong/pong-d.exe I fail to link with OpenAl32.dll. It seems I'm missing something here. Coming from the embedded devices world, I'm very new to dynamic linking and would appreciate some guidance.
