Installation

Linux

If you're using some Debian derived system, simply:

sudo apt install libsfml-dev

To download the main package, with this you have access to all 5 modules that compose SFML: system, window, graphics, network and audio.

If you don't have a look at here.

Building and compiling a project

You can either use CMAKE or type a thousand flags in the command line.

Using CMAKE

First, make sure you have all of these dependencies:

• freetype
• x11
• xrandr
• udev
• opengl
• flac
• ogg
• vorbis
• vorbisenc
• vorbisfile
• openal
• pthread

If you're in a Debian derived system you just have to have cmake.

sudo apt install cmake

Next do the following in your source directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Run it with ./sfml-app.

Typing a thousand flags

Compile it:

g++ -c <all_of_implementation_files.cpp>

Link it:

g++ <all_your_compiled_files.o> -o sfml-app -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-audio -lsfml-main

Execute it:

./sfml-app
