Error building SFML for Mingw
« on: January 07, 2015, 03:30:02 pm »
I'm trying to build SFML for Mingw using CMake. The makefiles were generated but when I build the project with the command "mingw32-make install" when the project is 100% it gives me the following error:
D:\...\SFML 2.2\SFML-2.2\build>mingw32-make install
[ 16%] Built target sfml-system
[ 18%] Built target sfml-main
[ 40%] Built target sfml-window
[ 53%] Built target sfml-network
[ 86%] Built target sfml-graphics
[100%] Built target sfml-audio
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML/./include
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:31 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot make directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/SFML/./include":
  No such file or directory

You need admin privileges to install something in "C:/Program Files (x86)", I suggest to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to something else.
