I use SFML version 1.6 and sorry for my poor English.
- sfml1.6 can compile cleanly with gcc 4.4(recommended)-4.5 and gcc 4.6-4.7 must define NULL or modify some code
- compiling sfml1.6 with codeblocks is good on codeblocks 8.02(10.05 alway add .dll suffix)

Get the pixel under the mouse position and check the alpha channel of that pixel.

What would the answer have been for sfml 2.0?
I'm sure I could be doing it better than the way I currently am.

With SFML 2 you would have to store a "collision map" (a 2D array of booleans), created after you load the texture, because you can't easily read from a sf::Texture.

The (likely worse) way that I was doing is just checking if mouse x and y lied between the min and max x and y values of the sprite's rectangle... is that pretty bad or is it alright?

It's not good ar bad, it depends on what you want. If an approximate detection using the sprite's rectangle is all that you need then it's perfect, if you need a more precise detection then you'll have to play with the alpha channel of the image.
