MinGW + SFML + CLion (Windows 10)

[sweet_weakness]

Hello, I tried everything to set it up, but it didn't help. I use MinGW 32-bit (I ve downloaded it from link on sfml download page) and SFML for MinGW 32-bit. Here are my CMake and code (default).

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>


int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);


    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }


        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }


    return 0;
}
 

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
set(PROJECT_NAME MyGame)


project(${PROJECT_NAME})
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++17 -static")


set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)


set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)


if (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE STREQUAL "Release")
    add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SOURCE_FILES})
else ()
    add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCE_FILES})
endif ()


set(SFML_ROOT "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/SFML-2.5.1")
set(SFML_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/SFML-2.5.1/lib/cmake/SFML")
#set(SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES TRUE)


set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${SFML_ROOT}/lib/cmake/SFML")
find_package(SFML 2 REQUIRED COMPONENTS audio graphics window system)
if (SFML_FOUND)
    include_directories(${SFML_INCLUDE_DIR})
    link_directories(${SFML_LINK_DIR})
    target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SFML_LIBRARIES} ${SFML_DEPENDENCIES})
else ()
    message("SFML NOT FOUND")
endif()
 

I've tried everything; I need SFML libs folder in my project folder.

I tried everything even it. It works only if i merge sfml and mingw folders.

What if you move the add_executable() below the searching for SFML?
I don't know when exactly CMake resolves the include directories, but maybe if they're missing when you add an executable, then they won't be seen by your source code?

That didn't help. Btw, yesterday i got 0x0000...00135 exit code (using this CMake).

Code: [Select]

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)

project(MyGame)

## If you want to link SFML statically
# set(SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES TRUE)

## In most cases better set in the CMake cache
set(SFML_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/SFML-2.5.1/lib/cmake/SFML")

find_package(SFML 2.5.1 COMPONENTS graphics REQUIRED)
add_executable(MyGame main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(MyGame sfml-graphics)

When i set static libs on true, I get same error (can't find SFML/Graphics.hpp etc)

Any ideas?)

Hey there,
i use a similar setup as you (but mingw-w64 instead of mingw). I had also some trouble getting newest SFML version to run with CMAKE and CLION. However with Laurents help i was able to get it to run. Here the whole process is described in detail, it may be helpful for you.

Thanks. Is it normal that I need to add .dll's myself (I mean to copy .dll's in my cmake-build folder)? I thought that it has to do it itself after compiling project.
