SFML Compiling
« on: February 11, 2012, 08:09:24 pm »
Hello there.  I have been attempting to update my SFML to 2.0, but have run into quite a few problems.  Even after carefully reading the tutorial provided on this site, watching youtube tutorials, and doing multiple google searches, cmake seems to hate me :(  Is there a pre-compiled version of SFML 2.0 for a Windows Vista system using the Codeblocks IDE?

Maybe there is, but if you would explain your problems then someone might help you installing it with cmake.
The advantage of this will be that once you understand it, you will always be able to get the latest version instead of waiting until someone puts the binaries online.

Well, I would prefer a link to a pre-compiled version...but here is the problem(s):

I was following the tutorial provided and when I selected the appropriate generator for CodeBlocks MinGW Makefiles.  I then hit "Configure and received the following errors:

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be built correctly.
Missing variable is:

CMAKE_C_COMPILER

Missing variable is:

CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have tried to remedy them myself by double checking that the cmake variable is set, trying different generator types, and, of course, googling some of them.

Either you forgot this step:
Quote
On Windows, if you want to use gcc (MinGW), you can temporarily add the MinGW\bin directory to the PATH and then run cmake from the command shell:

Code: [Select]
> set PATH=%PATH%;your_mingw_folder\bin
> cmake

(of course you must run CMake from the same shell where you changed the PATH environment variable)

... or your MinGW installation lacks the "make" program (mingw32-make).
