Problems linking library
« on: July 22, 2014, 04:17:21 pm »
I am new to installing libraries, so I got a few problems.
1. I can't get "lib" and "include" folders together, I followed multiple tutorials but each timeI get different results...
2.  I followed this http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php
 and  this http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-vc.php, but still the IDE does not recognise SFML syntax, it still displays curly red lines around the code...
Oh, I also followed this tutorial:

 
Here are screenshots

What have I done wrong?
What is the proper way to do it?
I see millions of ways with different outcomes, I cannot find a good explaination anywhere.

You must build the INSTALL(as admin) project, not delete it for no reason. It should install SFML in something like %PROGRAMFILES%/SFML. After that you can either use CMake in your project to link sfml automatically or manually add the libraries and include folders in your vs project.

Don't follow arbitrary video tutorials. The official ones describe everything, are checked for errors by many people and up-to-date.
