Problem installing SFML on linux [SOLVED]
« on: July 06, 2015, 11:44:22 am »
I'm using linux mint the latest version, when I try was trying to install SFML on my machine this is exactly what happened:

1. I downloaded SFML's latest stable version.
2. I extracted it and got the file SFML-2.3
3. In terminal I went to the directory  /Downloads/SFML-2.3 & typed "sudo make install"
4. I got this error message :      make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

If anyone has any spare time to look into it or has had a similar problem can you please tell me what's wrong?
( Note: gcc, gpp ,cmake etc. all these are installed , thank you for your time )

If you download binaries then there's no make script and you'll have to install them manually.
If you download the source, you first need to run CMake.

Also you should read up on how make works if such an error message surprises you...

Sorry, I'm kind of new to linux. I used the package manager instead thanks.
