I'm compiled SFML v1.5 on a fresh Linux Mint(Ubuntu)
finding needed: libraries, packages, include files .h, lib files.so
using this Ubuntu web tool:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ("Search the contents of packages")
I spent 2 hours to do this starting from SFML compile errors so now I write here my work result for all others and Ask if someone found some alternative mode to setup all.
build-essential
mesa-common-dev
libxrandr-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libfreetype6-dev
libopenal-dev
libsndfile1-dev
To compile simly go in SFML dir and type "make"
