SFML Game Development Book code and Xcode 5.0.1

[The Thinker]

Hi all, I'm new in this forum and not so experienced with Xcode (I have just bought my first Mac).

I studied C++  (Accelerated C++ and C++ Programming in easy steps 4 edition) and now I would like to learn SFML so I bought "SFML Game Development book"

I configured SFML 2.1 so I downloaded:

-Clang - universal 32+64 bits (OS X 10.8+, compatible with C++11 and libc++)
-Templates for Xcode 5

and as you can see in the image linked below everything seems working ok ( I hope so, if we don't consider: Error>: The function `CGContextErase' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.
)

Anyway the main problem is that I cannot run in Xcode 5.0.1 the sfml-book.xcodeproj (that I generated with cmake 2. after downloading the compressed archive from Laurent Gomita github.com).

It gives me the following errors:

I guess it's a problem with the linker or something but I'm not so skilled with Xcode.

Can someone please help me and tell me step by step how to fix this so I can start to study this lovely book?

Thank you in advance

I'm not very familiar with XCode or OS X, but in the past there have been problems concerning the confusion of standard libraries. It is possible to choose either -stdlib=libc++ (clang) or -stdlib=libstdc++ (g++), however newer systems seem to use libc++, which is the default in the CMake configuration.

Have you tried searching for the error message? Maybe a OS X user can help here...

Hello,

I am also having troubles with Xcode 5.0.1 and SFML. But mine are pretty dumb. I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks (clean install) and got Xcode 5. In SL I used SFML 2.0 and I didn't use the templates since I couldn't get Xcode 4, I compiled my projects from terminal with a command like "g++ main.cpp -framework sfml-graphics -framework sfml-window -framework sfml-system".

Now, here is my problem, I downloaded SFML 2.1 (clang version), and moved the frameworks and extlibs files to my /Library/Frameworks/ folder. However, I couldn't figure out where to put the Xcode 5 templates but I could not find the /Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates folder. I think that since now Xcode is a stand alone app there is no such folder anymore, so I don't know how to set up the templates. I tried looking in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/ but there is no folder for templates there either. May I ask how you set the templates up The Thinker?

Another thing is that my command line compilation doesn't work anymore either. I tried dumping the frameworks in the /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks folder but that doesn't work either. If I try to complile as before I get an error :

"JyNorbita:desktop JyNo$ g++ main.cpp -framework sfml-graphics -framework sfml-window -framework sfml-system
main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'SFML/Graphics.hpp' file not found
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp> "

Thanks in advance for you help.

I feel really stupid now. I just created the required folder and now I have the template working on Xcode. I still don't know what the problem is with my command line compilation but now that I have the Xcode template up and running maybe it is not so important.

Cheers.
