General / Re: Installing SFML on a ubuntu machine

« on: November 29, 2012, 08:01:51 am »

Ok since you recommended me to install sfml2. I am now following this tutorial http://sfmlcoder.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/building-sfml-2-0-with-make-for-gcc/ . I installed everything but once I run this code command

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE

I then received this error once I tried to run this simple command.

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE
CMake Error:
  The path to the source directory:

    /home/chris/Development/sfml2ss/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE

  contains unsupported character '='.

  Please use a different source directory name.

Do you have any clue why?

Thanks for all your help.

-Chris





********************************EDIT*****************************************

Simple solution. No spaces inbetween and everything works as intended. I figured I edit for future reference to anyone following that tutorial.

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE

General / Installing SFML on a ubuntu machine

« on: November 28, 2012, 01:39:40 am »

Hello SFML community!

I'm new here and I ran into a problem while trying to install SFML into my Virtual box Unbuntu.

I've been attempting to install SFML(API) into my Virtual Box ubuntu for the last few hours, but I cant seem to find the solution to this error problem. The original problem seemed was a hardware problem it seemed dealing with the fglrx(ati), but I have no clue what this error is nor what it's suppose to mean.

So, after I downdloaded the SFML and extracted it into a folder. Inside the directory in terminal, I follow the instructions on here http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.5/start-linux.php.

Once I run "make" it gives me the following error.

I have no idea what those errors at the bottom are. I tried googling them, but no luck. My only guess is that I might have missed a file when downloading it. Any help would be great. Thanks.
