Author Topic: Problem configuring csfml2 with cmake (Read 37677 times)

I followed the tutorial to build SFML without issue(and installed it), however whenever I try to use cmake with csfml project I get the error

Code: [Select]

CMake Error at G:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:91 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find SFML (missing: SFML_INCLUDE_DIR SFML_SYSTEM_LIBRARY
  SFML_WINDOW_LIBRARY SFML_NETWORK_LIBRARY SFML_GRAPHICS_LIBRARY
  SFML_AUDIO_LIBRARY) (Required is at least version "2")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  G:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:252 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  G:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindSFML.cmake:105 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  src/SFML/CMakeLists.txt:22 (find_package)

I'm new to SFML so I'm probably missing something relatively obvious :oops:

I looked all around and searched but couldn't find an answer for this.
On windows 7 64-bit.
This is from the latest SVN revision, BTW.

You must create a CMake variable named SFMLDIR and which contains the path to your SFML installation (the directory which contains /include and /lib).

This, and more details, is explained in FindSFML.cmake

Where would this file be located exactly?

I had to add each library name by hand. Not that big a deal but just saying. :/

Which file?

computerquip · « **Reply #4 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:34:17 pm »

FindSFML.cmake

Laurent · « **Reply #5 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:36:56 pm »

It's under SFML/cmake/Modules, and it installs automatically to your CMake installation when you install SFML 2.

Okay, I'm confused apparently. When you move to build CSFML with Cmake, even if you hand define all of the library variables (despite defining the library directory or SFMLDIR which both didn't work and returned that the libraries weren't found), cmake doesn't generate anything for me. Am I missing something?

Laurent · « **Reply #7 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:54:44 pm »

I can't guess what you did, tell me what commands you executed, what CMake variables you defined, with what values, tell me how/where SFML 2 is installed, etc. etc..

Figured it out! Seems that I need to use static libraries, not dynamic which is why it couldn't find the libraries, etc. After building and moving them to SFMLDIR, all works fine.

Laurent · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2011, 04:10:49 pm »

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, CSFML links to SFML release static libraries.

Dont want to make a new thread for basically same kind of problem.
Im trying to use CMake to create Codeblocks files using MinGW, however specifying the compiler as TCC but i get these errors

I have also tried other options but they all still give errors

The path to the gcc executable must be in the PATH environment variable so that CMake can find it.

Where exactly do i find it?
I have lookes all over the gui and in the cmakelist but cant find anything

Laurent · « **Reply #13 on:** May 06, 2011, 07:21:55 pm »

I'm talking about the OS environment variables, which have nothing to do with CMake.

The best way is to add it locally, so that your global PATH is not polluted with your compiler path when you're not using CMake.

It is explained in the tutorial: open a console, and type the following command

Code: [Select]

set PATH=%PATH%;<mingw>/bin
Where <mingw> is the directory where you installed MinGW. Then, from the same console, launch cmake-gui

Code: [Select]

cmake-gui

Ahhh that worked great but now i get this error

CMake Error at src/SFML/CMakeLists.txt:22 (find_package):
Could not find module FindSFML.cmake or a configuration file for package
SFML.

Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindSFML.cmake or set SFML_DIR to the
directory containing a CMake configuration file for SFML. The file will
have one of the following names:

SFMLConfig.cmake
sfml-config.cmake
