Compiling SFML

[tester]

What do I have to do to compile SFML from source? There is no configure file for GCC. Does that mean I have to include all source files manually to the project?

[Laurent]

Code: [Select]

make
make install

[tester]

Yes, that's for Linux. But what if I want to compile with MinGW on the command line? The MinGW download only has the project files for Code::Blocks. And if I try to compile the Linux download with MinGW and MSYS, I get the following output:

There should be a download for MinGW with a makefile to compile on the command line.

[gsaurus]

But what if I want to compile with MinGW on the command line? The MinGW download only has the project files for Code::Blocks.

Don't you use Code::Blocks? There is a batch-build on the codeblocks build folder.

[Laurent]

There are no MinGW makefiles for SFML.

[tester]

Don't you use Code::Blocks?

No. I compile directly under the command line.

There are no MinGW makefiles for SFML.

There should be. Even better, the makefile for Linux should be written in a way that it can compile both, the Linux and the Windows version with GCC.

You can supply a patch
