Building the SFML aplication on MAC - sfml-system-d not found

[falconmick]

Xcode can't find any of the sfml-system' stuff and I have no idea how to use mac's (well no idea compaired to linux or windows) I had to use terminal just so I could sniff around the back end of the hard drive looking for where it installed SFML (couldn't find it in the end)

=.= the old mac I used to use was easier to use, the explorer actually let u explore the root of the hdd

how can I fix

ld: library not found for -lsfml-system-d

I've no idea about Macs either, but have you been following strictly the official tutorial?
If you do it correctly with Xcode everything should work out fine.

well, i've changed to framework, add search paths and now I'm getting the following:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "sf::RenderWindow::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > const&, unsigned int, sf::ContextSettings const&)", referenced from:

=.= I know nothing about xcode waah

Compiling for xcode doesn't work out of the box. First you need to install the FreeType framework from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks

Then the current xcode project uses debug libraries.. which you have to build yourself, or you can remove the -d for all of the libraries in the project settings file so it builds with the release libraries. Instead of sfml-system-d use sfml-system.

This method is if you're using the dylib libraries for sfml 2.0 . I haven't tried the .framework yet.

I can't remember anything else I did, but if you're still having problems then post them and I'll help you.

To fix this issue you will need to change the compiler settings within Xcode. This is somewhat referenced in the setup tutorial http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-osx.php eXpl0it3r mentioned. The specific section is in the introduction section under the C++11 subsection. However I will admit it that the tutorial does not work out of the box as it seems Xcode sets the default C++ Standard Library to custom version Apple ships with Xcode. Let me know If I am wrong on this point.

Anyway, to the meat of the matter. To fix this issue please follow these steps:
1. Go to the Build Settings for you project
2. Go to the Apple LLVM compiler 4.1 - Language section
3. You will see a C++ Standard Library option. There will be three options here and you want to choose Compiler Default

I included a screenshot so you can see where this is incase you are unsure if you are on the proper screen. Let me know if this helps.
