Needs Help for Installing SFML

[Abakada]

How can i install SFML..? Is there a tutorial which i cannot find..? Is the installation too easy that a tutorial is unnecessary..?

I really need help in installing this library...

I currently have windows 7 and C++ 2010 Express...

thank you for help

I have seen it. (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php)

However, since I do not have VC++ Directories for C++ 2010 Express, I'm trying the Option#1 (Copy the SFML development files to your Visual Studio installation directory). I just cannot find VC\include directory... For the Step#2, do I also need to copy the *.dll files..?

A version of option #2 for C++ 2010 Express would also be nice.

Thank you for helping me  

BTW, i'm NOT BLIND..! I'm just ..... yeah... i'm blind.... lol

You must set it in your project's settings, in the properties sheet or something like that. Anyway, a quick Google search will give you what you want (a lot of people complained about the removal of the global search paths in VS 2010).

I just cannot find VC\include directory...

I have <install-dir>/VC/include in my VS2010 installation. Are you *really* blind? :wink:

For the Step#2, do I also need to copy the *.dll files..?

DLL files are loaded when you launch an application that uses SFML. So they must be located in the same directory as the executable of the application, or in a directory which is in the PATH environment variable.

MY EYES ARE FINALLY CURED..! i think it's my brain....

ok then... i'm blind again...

when i try to run this...

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    return 0;
}
it runs...!

however, when i try to add the sfml-graphics-s-d.lib in Additional Dependencies, it cannot be opened...

any ideas..?  :?:

You have to link to sfml-window. SFML is contains 5 different modules, not just sfml-system
