-Downloaded sfml

From where and which version did you download?

Have you tried to redownload it? IIRC I once also had the problem that the file was missing (although no idea how) a redownload 'fixed' the problem.

[Laurent]

What's in your C:/Sfml/sfml2/ folder?

[edumoette]

It version 2.0 the one at the bottom of the download page that says "Final version in beta for bug testing" or something similar.
sfml/sfml2 contains: bin, cmake, doc, examples, include, lib.

Oh, but the precompiled RC doesn't contain source code. You must download it from Github.

[edumoette]

Your right. I thought they both were the same when i was following the tutorial. When i changed them i got all these errors.

[Laurent]

You did something wrong, read the tutorial carefully and try again from scratch (clear your build folder).

[edumoette]

In the video im following it says that you need to unzip the file twice but i could only unzip it once using winrar. could this be the problem?

[Laurent]

I don't know which video you're watching, but you should rather follow the official tutorial.

And by the way, why do you want to compile SFML yourself?

[edumoette]

...i thought you had to to use it with codeblocks...

[Laurent]

Of course not

[edumoette]

Where can i find a tutorial for 2.0 than if im doing it wrong?

[eXpl0it3r]

Frontpage->Tutorials->SFML 2.0

Wasn't that hard, was it? ;-)

[edumoette]

how to i get the lib dlls without compiling using cmake than. the snapshot doesnt even come with the lib files...and the pre comp version doesnt have the dlls

[Laurent]

the snapshot doesnt even come with the lib files...

It is a snapshot of the source repository. It's not supposed to contain any compiled file.

and the pre comp version doesnt have the dlls

It does.
