[SOLVED] Make SFML + Ubuntu 10.10 | Maverick Meerkat

[Wafthrudnir]

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, but a silent fan of SFML...best library ever :> But now I have a silly problem  :oops:

I normally used SFML with Wintendo, but this time I wanted to use Linux. Anyway...

I tried to compile the libs via make.

Code: [Select]


make


seems to work

Code: [Select]


sudo make install


seems to work too, see here:

Code: [Select]


nakkvarr@midgard:~/Downloads/SFML-1.6$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for nakkvarr:

make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/home/nakkvarr/Downloads/SFML-1.6/src/SFML'

(Betrete/Verlasse Verzeichnis means: entering/leaving directory)

Anyway...can't find any libs in /usr/lib

And when i try to execute

Code: [Select]


sudo make install STATIC=yes


make fails hard:

Code: [Select]


nakkvarr@midgard:~/Downloads/SFML-1.6$ sudo make install STATIC=yes

make: *** [install] Fehler 2


Can't find the file „../../../lib/libsfml-system-s.a“ ?! :/

What's the problem? I downloaded SFML 1.6 and installed all dependencies via the Ubuntu repo...

I don't like shared libs so I wanted to build the static lib for sfml (like the ones in the windows pre build from this site) ...

Hope anyone can help me :>

Wintendo... lawl XD

You can't find it, because normally it is under /usr/local/lib. Just add it to the PATH environment variable (google it), and you can use SFML.

[Wafthrudnir]

Hi,

thank you, you're right, there they are

Code: [Select]


nakkvarr@midgard:/usr/local/lib$ ls
libsfml-audio.so         libsfml-network.so      libsfml-window.so
libsfml-audio.so.1.6     libsfml-network.so.1.6  libsfml-window.so.1.6
libsfml-graphics.so      libsfml-system.so       python2.6
libsfml-graphics.so.1.6  libsfml-system.so.1.6


Thanks a lot.
Next question: Why does the static build not work? :/
DEBUGBUILD=yes works fine (except the .so files have no -d in their name, do i have to rename them by hand?).

Regards,

Wafthrudnir

[nulloid]

If there is no -d in the library names, than it didn't compile. I guess you just took the release builds of the library, and made the compiler think they are debug, but it couldn't find the debug symbols. Check this out. If it's not the case, then I suggest delete everything and start it over. More often helps than not

[Wafthrudnir]

Hi thanks,

but somehow it just won't work, I execute:

Code: [Select]

make STATIC=yes

and I get this in the lib folder:

Code: [Select]


nakkvarr@midgard:~/Downloads/SFML-1.6/lib$ ls
libsfml-audio-s.a        libsfml-network-s.a     libsfml-window-s.a
libsfml-audio.so.1.6     libsfml-network.so.1.6  libsfml-window.so.1.6
libsfml-graphics-s.a     libsfml-system-s.a
libsfml-graphics.so.1.6  libsfml-system.so.1.6


seems to work...
when I try this:

Code: [Select]

make DEBUGBUILD=yes
sudo make install
does not work or do I miss something?! oO

What I need are the static and static-debug builds...but

Code: [Select]

make DEBUGBUILD=yes STATIC=yes
is not working either...

Do I miss something?!

EDIT:
Ok I think it's an error in the makefile. I changed the makefile:

Code: [Select]


DEBUGFLAGS = -g -DDEBUG
BUILDFLAGS = -fPIC
LINKFLAGS  = -shared

Make creates the files, but is not renaming them with the -d suffix. :/ like:
libsfml-network-s.a
and not
libsfml-network-s-d.a

EDIT2:
Ok i checked it, the makefile is not setting the -d suffix...
the filename stays the same, with or without DEBUGBUILD=yes, but the filesize changes:
no debug: ~141kb
with debug: >1MB
Debug info added :lol:  

btw.:
I think the tutorial should be updated:
1. usr/local/lib is the path where the .so files are placed
2. and after a successful build the user should check if this path is in the ld.so.cache.

Code: [Select]


cat /etc/ld.so.conf
#eventually the user has to call the included file with cat if there's one
# if the dir is not there ->
vi ld.so.conf
# add the file
#and finally
ldconfig

Now check if sfml is there:

Code: [Select]


ldconfig -p | grep sfml


otherwise the samples may not run...btw lepitoptera.org is a cool song

[nulloid]

Well, I suggest use SFML2.0, which uses CMake as a build system. There is even a tutorial about using it with sfml.

btw lepitoptera.org is a cool song

o.O? Googled it, nuffin'...

the filename stays the same, with or without DEBUGBUILD=yes, but the filesize changes:

It's a sign. Don't bother programming, go out, and get a normal life. I mean it. I'm a programmer. Believe me. :lol:

[Wafthrudnir]

Yeah I think I will give it a try, later I can't decide between 1.6 or 2.0 ...


lepitoptera.org is the song used in the SFML sound sample You can find it in the samples/bin/datas/sound folder. Oh an there's a mistake in writing...the correct filename is:
lepidoptera.ogg ...sorry :roll:

It's a sign. Don't bother programming, go out, and get a normal life. I mean it. I'm a programmer. Believe me. Very Happy Laughing

My normal life is too normal And annoyingly my job forces me to develop software <.< (atm Java stuff).

I think the missing -d suffix is too confusing  :roll:

[nulloid]

Oh, that lepidoptera... I know that
Can't decide between SFML1.6 and 2.0? Then I make it easy: use 2.0 I use it, and never had any trouble with it (I'm using it for 1-2 years or so).

what missing -d suffix are you talking about? The one you just solved, or another?

[Wafthrudnir]

Ok I will give it a try (and again...MAKE T_T  :roll: )

what missing -d suffix are you talking about? The one you just solved, or another? Very Happy

Yes the one I solved I mean, you are buildig the debug libs, and have no -d suffix like you have with the Wintendo builds oO This is a crazy world

And before I forget, thanks for your help

Is it capitalized? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_%28software%29

well... you're welcome

[Wafthrudnir]

w00t? I was just screaming

[nulloid]

Oh, get it
