General / Re: Getting SFML working on Ubuntu based Linux
« on: August 24, 2013, 12:53:09 pm »
I wrote two simple scripts that facilitate installing/uninstalling SFML, and I post them here in case someone else finds them useful (as I do.)
Once you installed the libraries needed (as described in http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php, you can run this script to install SFML:
The script takes care of instaling everything, including doxygen documentation and also lets you enable search engine (very useful). All you need to do is to change two parameters in the top of the script: zip_dir (where SFML source zipped file was downloaded) and editor (your preferred editor, which will be used to do the necessary changes in doxygen.in and documentation index.) You might also change install_prefix, in case you want to install SFML to a different place than the default.
To uninstall SFML, for example in order to install a newer version, use this script:
Again, you might need to change install_prefix, in case you installed SFML to a different place than the default.
Both scripts should work on any Linux distribution (not necessarily Ubuntu or other Debian-based distros.)
Once you installed the libraries needed (as described in http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php, you can run this script to install SFML:
