[SOLVED][C++] Compiling SFML under Windows 7 with MinGW throws errors

[Symphonym]

I'm currently trying to compile SFML on a school computer but now I'm stuck at some weird errors. I have done exatctly as you're supposed to do, use CMake, select MinGW Makefiles and go to the "Build Directory" and run  "mingw32-make" to compile SFML. However when running "mingw32-make" it gives a bunch of errors and stops:

Any idea what may be causing this to happen?

Are you sure that the CMake configuration step succeeded? Have you tried to restart from scratch?

Yes, I'm pretty sure the CMake succeeded, and yes I have tried redoing it all again (I'll do it once more and show my results below).

Using the CMake-gui and pressing "configure" after selecing MinGW makefiles on the popup window:

And there it is again :/

Have you tried reinstalling CMake again? I've seen a few broken CMake setups in the past...

[Laurent]

Try to generate your build files in a path which doesn't contain special characters (like 'ö').

Indeed, I just looked over the error and noticed the lack of "ö"'s in the path. I'm pretty sure this is the error, I just tried redownloading the SFML source and CMake as exploit3r suggested, but I'll try changing the path now which should hopefully fix it, I'll make an edit to this post if it works.

EDIT: SUCCESS!
