SFML 1.6 doesn't use CMake. The tutorial that you read is for SFML 2.0.

Ahaha.... wow. *slaps self*.
So, when i had problems with 1.6, i replicated the steps with 2.0, I also had the exact same issue. For now, i will go use the 1.6 tutorial but just out of curiousity and learning, could you speculate on why none of the folders have the cMakeLists?

General / issues finding CMakeLists.txt after dl'ing

« on: December 20, 2012, 07:50:24 pm »

I am sorry, I have been staring at the compile with cmake tutorial and i am unsure of what I am missing.
I downloaded and installed cmake, I downloaded the mingW version of SFML 1.6. I unzipped with winrar and put it into its own folder, I already had a mingW folder, and i opened command prompt and set the path and launched cmake. I set my source to my sfml folder and make a seperate folder for the build. Now, I could not find the cmakelists in any of the folders in the SFML. I redownloaded it like some suggested in other threads but I had no luck. The error message I get is that "'folder' is missing cmakelists" to paraphrase. Google didnt help either, i look forward to your guidence.
