make sfml in linux, ubuntu
« on: June 05, 2009, 01:26:26 pm »
When make ing sfml from the src, because I want those static libraries, I got this output in the console (wich I don't really understand)

Code: [Select]

You have to install the development files for XrandR (libxrandr-dev).
You'll probably have to install other packages.

No I won't, static build on Linux is bad.

why is it bad? and if there are no static libs can i put the .so libs in the same folder as the binary (as in windows) or do I have to tell everyone to install sfml? (the non developers...)

It is bad because Linux manages libraries much better than Windows, and prefers shared libraries to static ones.

It is bad also because you can't include a library into a static one, so to compile your program you would have to link against the SFML libraries plus all the external libraries it is using (xlib, xrandr, freetype, openal, libsndfile, ...).

I guess you can put the binaries together with the executable (never tried), but the best solution is to make a package that will install properly both your game and all the external libraries.
But please don't ask me how to do this :lol:

I don't think you're able to put the so files and the application in the same directory. The OS won't look in the current directory for .so, but in /usr/lib/ and some others paths. ( There is a variable you can change in your profile to do want you want, but I don't know its name and it's awful. )

If you want to build some package I wrote something about : http://hiura.tuxfamily.org/wiki/doku.php?id=other:project:deb:deb . It may help you ( or not ) .  :wink:

I think you can change the install path in order to make it relative to the executable. That's what I do with Mac OS X. But... the option used to do that only exists for Darwin (ie. Mac OS X kernel) : -install_name. I dunno whether you can find something similar on Linux.

You just need to do export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=your_path_to_so_files/
