I've grown rather fond of both g++ and make on Linux (I blame my data-structures professor
), but my primary computer runs windows as I play quite a few games. So, I've set up a build environment on windows that uses makefiles with g++. Obviously, I ran into the usual errors when trying to use the existing binaries (figured it was worth a shot
), so I went to compile SFML from the source. To do this I pulled the makefiles from the Linux distribution, and adjusted them (shifted the platform from Linux to Win32 everywhere it was mentioned). After a couple problems getting the dependencies in the right place, everything worked perfectly:

From there, I moved the libraries (compiled to be static, so no DLLs, ran into trouble trying to compile dynamic libraries... if this becomes important I'll post those errors as well) and include files over to the project folder, linked, and tried to compile. After fixing some minor errors, the system clock example from the website worked perfectly. However, as soon as I start using Graphics/Windows I get a whole slew of compile errors, mostly related to undefined symbols (which appear to be windows specific?)

Any thoughts or tips would be very much appreciated. If I can get this working, I would be more than happy to write up a quick tutorial for anyone else interested in compiling SFML using/for g++ on windows.
