SFML 2.0 from apt-get

[Qix]

Why isn't libsfml-dev 2.0 available from the debian repositories?

I have searched and can't really find a reason, though it's probably because it's still a RC.

[Laurent]

The reason is quite obvious: SFML 2.0 doesn't exist yet and as far as I know there's no official package in the Debian repositories for beta/RC versions of a library.

You can only find such packages in the ArchLinux repositories (SFML-1.99-git).

[Qix]

Figured as much.

Any projected release date? You're getting pretty close.

[Laurent]

Any projected release date?

As soon as it's ready.

I packaged the RC in a private repository. If you want, you can add it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sonkun/sfml
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsfml2-dev

It also provides examples via the package "sfml2-examples". Once the package installed, you can launch the examples via command lines:

sudo apt-get install sfml2-examples
sfml2-pong
sfml2-shaders

The shader example is useful to see whether SFML runs well or not on your OS

I just realized a new Ubuntu version is out thus if you're looking for packages for the latest version, mine may not work, (haven't tried yet) but if you're on 12.04l, that's okay.

If you want other people to find it easily, a forum post is probably not the best place.
I would suggest you to create a wiki web page.

I'll do the same for Mageia, but I need somewhere to upload the .rpm first.

A forum post isn't that bad but it should probably be one with a proper title, i.e. directly related to the topic at hand.
Many users don't look into the wiki or don't even know that there's a wiki...

Maybe SFMLUploads.org?

Oh sweet I will try this out next time I fire up my VM. I am on the latest so I will let you know if it works (it very well might).

[Sonkun]

Voilà.

I upgraded the packages to Quantal and sent them to launchpad, they should be available as soon as launchpad build them.

(i386 already available, the amd64 one will be in 4 hours)

I just packaged sfeMovie. :-)

libsfemovie
libsfemovie-dev

apt-get install libsfemovie libsfemovie-dev

I first packaged with the single example under the name sfemovie-example but it seems the example fails to compile. Here is the buildlog. I couldn't figure it out why so I removed it from the package, I'll add it later back later.

Can you upload other SFML libs ? like sfml-graphic 2.0 and others ?

dpkg -l libsfml*

Everything (graphics network etc.) is already in. ^^
