Compiling SFML 2.1 in OS X 10.9.5 and C++11 support

[jstark]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile SFML 2.1 from sources on OS X 10.9.5 (Xcode 6.0.1). I'm generating the required Makefile with

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++"

and I'm getting the following errors after running make:

Building CXX object src/SFML/Window/CMakeFiles/sfml-window.dir/OSX/SFApplication.m.o
error: invalid argument '-std=c++11' not allowed with 'C/ObjC'
make[2]: *** [src/SFML/Window/CMakeFiles/sfml-window.dir/OSX/SFApplication.m.o] Error 1

I'm guessing that some *.m files are passed to clang++ and there is a conflict there. I renamed all *.m files to *.mm and after fixing another compiler error (a simple cast) everything worked fine.

So, am I mistaken ? Or is this a known issue in OS X ?

Did you read the official tutorials?

I think yes, but if I misread something, please forgive me. I'll give them another look right now.

Well, forgive me, I made a mistake (forgot a -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS option). I apologize.

I'm aware of this. It will change the day we need C++11 in SFML code but in the meantime you don't need -std=c++11 to compile SFML. See §C++11 and Mac OS X in this tutorial http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php for more details.
