Please Help.
« on: February 27, 2014, 09:50:23 pm »
Hello everyone! Thank you for the patience the SFML community has shown me. I have half-way built SFML with CMake. I have the build folder in SFML-2.1. I did not understand the last part of the official tutorial. What am I doing in that part? Also, I have a very noob question (please understand SFML is the first media library I have ever used). How do I include CMake? Thanks.

Can you be a bit more specific?
What exactly have you done and which part do you have problems with? "the last part" is not clear enough. :)

Also what do you mean with "include CMake"? CMake is only there to generate a make or project file with which you can build the library, afterwards it's not needed any further.

1.)   The section called "Building SFML" in the official tutorial.
2.)   What do I do with the file it makes?
thanks,
Calvin

1.) It's still not precise enough. What exactly doesn't work, at which step are you stuck?

2.) Please read the SFML tutorial carefully. There are even screenshots that explain every step. You have to compile SFML after the makefile or project solution has been generated. And now don't ask how to compile...
