How to compile SFML on Windows with GCC in cygwin?
« on: April 09, 2015, 09:09:14 pm »
Hi!

I have installed cygwin with GCC. I have successfully compiled a few programs, so it works. But niw I wanted to compile my first SFML project. Which version do I have to download? And do I have to follow thesehttp://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-linux.php instructions or are there specific ones?

Thanks for your help!

For the least amount of problems, just download the source and compile it with the same compiler you use to compile your application.

Since the Cygwin MinGW version is "special" you need to build from source, see the CMake tutorial.
