SFML 2.0 Linux installation issue

[chakal]

Hello,
I am trying without sucess to install SFML 2.0 on a Ubuntu 15.10. Up until now, I worked on SFML in Windows CodeBlocks and I didn't have any serious issues with the installation under Windwos.

However, I am having a lot of trouble when trying to install SFML 2.0 on Ubuntu depsite following the tutorial in the SFML website. I  downloaded the Linux archive from the link http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.0/. After that I extracted the archive to /usr/local/ directory. I try to compile the code main.cpp from the following tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-linux.php
When I compile the code with:
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -L/usr/local/include -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
I get:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-graphics
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-window
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-system

When I compile the code simply with:
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
I am getting:
fatal error: SFML/Graphics.hpp: No such file or directory.

Can you tell what should I do to install properly SFML 2.0 on my machine?
Thank you in advance.

-L/usr/local/include

-L is the linker directory. -I is the include directory.

To avoid future issues, try also sudo ldconfig.

The library files are obviously not located in /usr/local/include, but probably in /usr/local/lib or similar.
It's important that you understand what the commands you enter mean exactly.

When I compile with
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -I/usr/local/SFML-2.0/include -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
I get:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-graphics
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-window
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfml-system

When compiling with:
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -L/usr/local/SFML-2.0/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system I get
fatal error: SFML/Graphics.hpp: No such file or directory.

When compiling with
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -L/usr/local/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system I get
fatal error: SFML/Graphics.hpp: No such file or directory.

Can you tell me what to do to compile the code? Thank you

Have you thought about providing include and library directory?

You should really read the basic documentation of your compiler when you want to program in C++...

Thank you for your reply.
Right now, I compile with
g++ main.cpp -o main.o -L/usr/local/SFML-2.0/lib -I/usr/local/SFML-2.0/include -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

However,I've got an awful lot of error messages such as:
 g++ -Wall main.cpp -o main -I/usr/local/SFML-2.0/include/ -L/usr/local/SFML-2.0/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

In my view, this problem is always related to the linking. Can you please tell me how to solve this issue so that my code compiles at the end?
Thank you

Please take some time to read the tutorials. You're not linking all the required libraries.

By the way, I would use SFML 2.3.2; there's no reason to start with 2.0 which has been outdated for years.

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libGLEW.so.1.5, needed by /usr/local/SFML-2.0/lib/libsfml-graphics.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libjpeg.so.62, needed by /usr/local/SFML-2.0/lib/libsfml-graphics.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

You should read more carefully, the problem is right in the first lines of your error message. SFML has additional dependencies which are not provided via the official download for linux binaries. You need to install them by yourself.
Best option would be to build SFML 2.3.2 yourself from source.
