Also if you want to see my exact error log for CMake:

It fails with the following output:

Oh, and this is the error I get when trying it with VS11
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio 11". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.

As you can probably tell, by now, I dislike cmake. ^^;;;
and I have made no further progress on that missing .dll issue. I have no clue on where to even start with that one. >_< *sigh I should have never even attempted any of this today.... Its just been errors, with errors, and no progress at all. >_< I miss the old days, when I had visual studio 10 and SFML working together flawlessly. Now days, nothing works anymore. >_<
I can get VS11 Pro/Prem/Ultimate from my college for free. Perhaps try one of those and see if the same error occurs with cmake? Because I found this:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13348I did just install cmake today, but I do not know if it contains in it, that update or not. I think it should, but there is always that chance I suppose.
I'll await your input on that. VS is a rather lengthy download.
Its confirmed that CMAKE will not work with VS Express editions of 2012 until 2.8.10. I'll download a different Visual Studio tomorrow. I just went with express because I didn't want overkill. >_> ....I'll just install ultimate for now. If I'm going overkill for a small project, I might as well go all the way. xD
Then maybe I can get it built, and maybe that will fix the missing .dll, and just maybe, I'll have SFML opening a window by the end of the day tomorrow.
*thats not sarcasm I've spent about..... seven hours on this issue so far.*
