Error building for OSX

[Lohoris]

The tutorial assumes that if you are under OSX you want to use Xcode. I'd rather not.

Hence, I'm trying to compile SFML from sources: got it from github, ran "cmake ." and then "make".

After a while I got the following error:

Code: [Select]

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there another way to install SFML under OSX to be used just with g++ instead of Xcode?

The tutorial assumes that if you are under OSX you want to use Xcode.

It does not assume anything – it only says templates are provided in case you want to use Xcode.

Anyway, you need to install Xcode package at least to get compilers (g++/clang/ibtool/...).

You're using a custom version of freetype that is not compiled for x86_64 arch, are you ? (Use "file" command to determine which architectures a binary supports.)

The default file on my system is /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.dylib and I get this :
