Problems Compiling DSFML-C

[malkierian]

OK, so I understand the reasoning behind wanting people to build on their own systems, but sometimes...

Anyway, so I can't actually get DSFML-C to compile because CMakeGUI won't find or let me choose entire MinGW installations.  I can assign gcc and g++, but then it starts looking for other things in the default folder instead of where those two programs are found.  How do I go about building this so I can build DSFML and start using it?

What OS are you trying to compile it for?

I have gotten it working on Windows, I'm currently in the process of figuring it out on Linux(though I know others that have gotten it working), and I recently helped someone get it going on OSX.

Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of feedback from people that use the binding so it's difficult for me to make sure the building information is up to date.

Windows 7 64-bit, but I have MinGW installed on my D drive instead of C, which is probably where it's looking by default.  Its there some way to configure the makelist/makefile manually so that it looks in the right spot for everything instead of just those two?

There is, and that's how I usually do it actually.

I'm at work right now, but I can do a entry in the DSFML wiki later today for ya.

Edit: Alternatively, I could just have the dll's and import libraries readily available for download.

Well, either way.  I just want to get working, ya know?  LOL.

My apologies. I've been pretty busy!

Here's a link to the latest build: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2911088/DSFML-Bin.zip

Also, make sure your MinGW\bin directory is included in your PATH. Could explain why CMake didn't find it.

Oh, it was.  It has been for months.

And thanks .

Also, I remember that it's built on 2.0, right?  Will any dev environment work with these libs?

By the way, is there an IRC channel you hang out in?  Is there an #sfml channel somewhere?

I guess he hangs out here sometimes

You guess?

zsbzsb is right, I do hang out in the irc. I mostly idle, but I'm usually around.

And as long as you have your favorite D IDE set up with the correct compiler switches, you shouldn't have any problems.

I tend to use Mono-D, a plug in for MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio, but I know that Visual D, a plug in for Visual Studio, is quite popular on Windows.
