SFML and CMake with Ubuntu
« on: December 24, 2010, 12:36:20 am »
Hi, I've just set up Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm now trying to install SFML. I downloaded it via subversion, I also installed CMake (and its GUI version).

When I try to configure SFML, I get the following errors:
Code: [Select]
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindX11.cmake:372 (MESSAGE):
  Could not find X11
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  src/SFML/Window/CMakeLists.txt:77 (find_package)

A lot of entries contain a "NOTFOUND". How can I find out the correct paths to X11? Shouldn't they be recognized automatically?

When I try to install the X11 package ("sudo apt-get install x11-common"), I'm told my version is up-to-date. Sorry for this beginner question, but I'm not too familiar with Ubuntu.

You need the "-dev" version of X11 (and also of other libraries). So in this case you need libX11-dev.

Thanks. Now I've managed to build SFML and run the examples.

The next step is to compile my own projects on Linux... ;)

Hi,

Same issue here:
Have a look https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=362676

Quote
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
If it does not work. Do an update then try.
cd /tmp/
wget -c http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libx11/libx11-dev_1.2.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./libx11-dev_1.2.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

Try with lowercase package name
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

From : http://askubuntu.com/questions/131688/unable-to-locate-package-libx11-dev

Worked for me. Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

I did that and SFML is still complaining for X11 while building a 32 bit version. Not sure if i need to make changes in cmake file to look for the right package..

Thanks.

Obviously, you need to install the 32 bits (i686) versions of the packages to build a 32 bits SFML.
