Weird compile error involving "/SFML/lib/libsfml-graphics-s.a"

[Thaddeous]

I'm using netbeans IDE 7.4 and CMake 2.8.12.1, and I'm using C++11
Here's my code:

/*
 * File:   main.cpp
 * Author: User
 *
 * Created on January 16, 2014, 11:47 PM
 */

#define SFML_STATIC
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

using namespace sf;

/*
 *
 */
auto main () -> int
{
    RenderWindow window (VideoMode(200,200), "SFML Works!");
    CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(Color::Green);
   
    while(window.isOpen())
    {
        Event event;
        while(window.pollEvent(event))
            if(event.type == Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }
    return 0;
}

 

And here is my compile error:

"/C/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe" -f nbproject/Makefile-Release.mk QMAKE= SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `/c/Users/User/Documents/NetBeansProjects/CppApplication_1'

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 2s)

How do i make this exe file? the one here:

make.exe[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../../../../Program Files \(x86\)/SFML/lib/libsfml-graphics-s.a', needed by `dist/Release/MinGW-Windows/cppapplication_1.exe'.  Stop.

It should be stated that Im new to SFML and CMake..

If you choose a library for which we don't have a tutorial here, it's wise to first learn how the IDE works, whers you need to add the settings (SFML_STATIC does not belong into the source code) and how it interacts with the compiler.

To me it seems you haven't set the project up correctly and the linker can't find the SFML libraries.

Yep I just had to play with the properties of the project to get it working. thank you!
