General discussions / A quick trick for Linux SFML apps

« on: January 26, 2014, 09:33:53 pm »

Since I don't want to write: "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to sfml>/lib && ./sfml-app" into my terminal every time i want to run sfml-app, I did this:
1 Start gedit (go to terminal and type "gedit" then enter)
2 Write:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to sfml>/lib && ./sfml-app

3 Save in the same directory as sfml-app.

Installed package, works perfectly! Compiled my program with 0 errors. Thank you. Just to let everyone know: building from source is a hassle, but once your done and dependencies installed it woks like a charm.

General / Pthread on ubuntu?

« on: January 26, 2014, 08:53:04 pm »

I am trying to install all the dependencies for compiling sfml on ubuntu, and I have installed all of them except pthread. I've tried a google search for "how to install pthread ubuntu" and these desperate tries: sudo apt-get install pthread, sudo apt-get install libpthread-dev, sudo apt-get install libpthread, sudo apt-get install pthread-dev and on and on. How do you install Pthread on ubuntu linux?

General / Linux compile error

« on: December 31, 2013, 07:11:52 pm »

I tried to use the method in the resources to compile the test file on ubuntu linux. It errored.
~$ g++ -c main.cxx
In file included from /usr/include/SFML/Window.hpp:40:0,
                 from /usr/include/SFML/Graphics.hpp:32,
                 from main.cxx:1:
/usr/include/SFML/Window/OpenGL.hpp:47:23: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
I installed it through the Ubuntu repository, (sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev) so shouldn't OpenGL.hpp exist?

I’ve never gotten sfml to work on linux. windows, yes, but linux, for some reason, no. Which is a shame because I ceartainly like using g++ better than the Code::blocks I use on windows .
