How to include SFML for building SFGUI in cmake?

[Me-Myself-And-I]

I'm trying to build SFGUI using cmake but it gives me an error that it couldn't find SFMLConfig.cmake and sfml-config.cmake. I'm sure this is just some simple noob mistake so could someone please point out to me how to properly include SFML for this? Thankyou

You'll have to either set SFML_DIR to where the SFMLConfig.cmake is (usually located in lib/cmake/SFML or point SFML_ROOT to the root directory of SFML.

This assumes that SFML has been built already.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Is the SFML source code required or can this be done with a binary? Looking in the binary lib folder I can't find any .cmake file or a cmake folder or a SFML folder in that directory.

It's meant to be used with pre-built binaries and CMake config files.

Best you build the INSTALL target for SFML, which will copy all the necessary file to whatever you've set as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
