SFML Installation / Demo

[klj613]

I have downloaded SFML 1.6 and I am following this tutorial.. http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php.

I copied *.lib files to CP/lib and the include/SFML to CP/include (on MS Visual Studio 2010 Professional). Which this should make SFML available to all projects?

I also setup the Linker>Input>Additional Dependancies and C/C++>Preprocessor>Preprocessor Definations

When I try to compile my program it won't compile due to errors. Also the sf:: has a red line under it which I assume indicates it is not available.

Please note I am new to Game Development all together but I know several technologies relating to web development (PHP, etc)

Thanks in advance for any support

You should not copy the files into the Visual Studio installation directory. Just specify the SFML paths (include and lib) in your project or in a property sheet that is used by your project. What's "CP"?

And what errors do you get?

I meant to type VC not CP. Sorry.
I followed the instructions on http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php and I do not know what/where-is project "property sheet" to add libs? I did what the tutorial told me to do.

Property sheets are available since VS 2010. They replace the global directories of VC 2008 in Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions. You'll find out more about them on MSDN (or Google).

But as I said, don't copy the SFML files into the VC directory. Rather specify the include and lib paths in your Visual Studio project or in a separate property sheet.
