Moved this from General Discussions because apparently this is where installation questions are supposed to be asked.
Today I got a copy of the source code with git
git clone git://github.com/ https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML
And just got a makefile with CMake using the default options (except that I also told it to compile the examples).
Got the following errors upon invoking make:
/home/hannes/SFML/SFML/src/SFML/Window/Linux/JoystickImpl.cpp: In member function 'void sf::priv::JoystickImpl::Close()':
/home/hannes/SFML/SFML/src/SFML/Window/Linux/JoystickImpl.cpp:79:17: error: 'close' was not declared in this scope

I am using Ubuntu 11.10, and I kinda feel like an idiot right now because noone else seems to have this problem.
