General / [SOLVED] Re: SFML integration via CMakeList.txt (static library)

« on: August 16, 2023, 09:22:38 pm »

so, I have treid your approach Trasher, at least for the dynamic library access it worked, but I couldnt use the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS command to configure static library generation.

But I had modified my original approach and the static generation via CMakeList.txt worked for me.

It worked without freetype library, unfortunatelly I still couldnt figure out why freetype cannot befound as mentioned before.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21)


project(sfml_static_include VERSION 0.1.0 LANGUAGES C CXX)

set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})


set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)

#set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS FALSE)

#If you are using Windows, manually set the location where you installed SFML.
set(SFML_DIR "C:/Users/User/Documents/Libraries/SFML-2.6.0/lib/cmake/SFML")

set(SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES TRUE)
 
find_package(SFML COMPONENTS graphics window system REQUIRED)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)


if(SFML_FOUND)
  target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
        sfml-graphics
        sfml-window
        sfml-system
        opengl32
        winmm
        gdi32
        #freetype

endif()

I have deleted the build folder and cleared everything and rebuild, but still the same problem.

PS. the SFML MinGW 32bit version for download on the website contains a Trojan. Please remove it !!!

to be honest I have asked myself the same about 30min ago, I think it was a general misunderstading "noob mode". I though if freetype cannot be found I have to install (generate) freetype files myself  Now I have removed everything related to manually generated freetype files. 

So I am at the beginning again, with the same error, ld.exe cannot find -lfreetype

I do have the libfreetype.a inside the SFML /lib folder though...

could there be compatibility isue, as I have generated freetype.lib and freetype.dll files in Visual Studio, but trying to access these via cmake linkeage (minGW) ?

I dont understand, why freetype cant be found.
I could remove the find_package(Freetype 2.13.0 REQUIRED) but stii the issue is present.

I have even linked the freetype.lib location ( the folder where library file is to be found) to my environmental variables, still cmake cannot find it...

What I do see as well, is the cmakecashe.txt file is trying to access some .a file which is nonexistant;

//Path to a library.
FreeType_LIB:FILEPATH=C:/Users/myId/Documents/Libraries/SFML-2.6.0/lib/libfreetype.a

//Path to a file.
SFML_DOC_DIR:PATH=SFML_DOC_DIR-NOTFOUND

//Value Computed by CMake
sfml_static_include_BINARY_DIR:STATIC=C:/myFolder/CPP/SFML/sfml_static_include/build

//Value Computed by CMake
sfml_static_include_SOURCE_DIR:STATIC=C:/myFolder/CPP/SFML/sfml_static_include

 

there is no libfreetype.a anywhere...

@Thrasher: I've checked the link, but this doesnt really help sme a lot. Or maybe I can not filter the neccessary information out of it.

I have tried few things out and got stuck with the inclusion of the freetype depencency.
I had to install it initially (rather generate the .dll and .lib files using VisualStudio)
but cmake cant find the libraries, whats quite strage.

find_package() doesnt throw an error, so I assupe that freetype is actually found...

General / [SOLVED]SFML integration via CMakeList.txt (static library)

« on: August 10, 2023, 11:07:16 am »

Hello together,

I am relatively new to this topic and trying to get SFML running in my environment.

Currently I have tried the console commands, as in tutorials on SFML website and it worked fine.
For static library generation as well, using with -s attached ;
g++ main.o -o sfml-app -L<sfml-install-path>/lib -lsfml-graphics-s -lsfml-window-s -lsfml-system-s

Now I have tried to trigger the whole proccess via CMakeList.txt in VSCode, I made it so far executing the example using dynamic library access (dll must be present within the same folder as .exe file)
Now two points here:

• I am not sure how to implement static library in my CMakeList.txt file, to get rid of extra dll files ?
• When executing .exe I am getting terminal window opened in background, how to get rid of it ?

Thank you
