Following the instructions in <a href="http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/compile-with-cmake.php">Compiling SFML with CMake</a> you'll need CMake. The problem is CMake isn't included with OSX default. Fortunately, <a href="http://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a> remedies that for us. Simply follow the instructions on the Homebrew site to get started.</p> <p>Once that finishes installing, follow the current brew instructions for updating your formula list. Then, simply install CMake:</p> <pre class="code literal-block"> brew install cmake </pre> <p>Notice I omitted sudo. That's because homebrew installs everything under /usr/local/, and you're going to have a bad time if random bits and pieces under that hierarchy are owned by root.</p> <p>Next, snag SFML from source, cd into the cloned directory, and then kick off CMake</p> <pre class="code literal-block"> git clone https://github.com/SFML/SFML.git cd SFML cmake CMakeLists.txt </pre> <p>Once CMake finishes running (it'll take a couple seconds) you'll have our old friend Makefile generated in the local directory. You probably know what to do at this point</p> <pre class="code literal-block"> make sudo make install </pre> <p>At this point, you should have some fancy new headers and libraries under /usr/local. Congrats!</p> <p>P.S. I'm a masochist and like to build SFML games from the command line, so I found out the hard way that /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib aren't in your default search path. To tell clang you want it to look somewhere else, give it the -I (include path) and -L (library path) flags.</p> <pre class="code literal-block"> CFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include ... </pre></div>gamedevprogrammingSFMLtutorialshttp://mattdietz.net/posts/installing-sfml-from-source.htmlSun, 23 Aug 2015 05:57:05 GMT
