Hi,

I'm trying to compile CSFML under Ubuntu, can anyone help with what i am doing wrong?

git clone https://github.com/SFML/CSFML
cd CSFML
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..

-- Build files have been written to: /home/jj/CSFML/build

then I do:

$ make
CMake Error at src/SFML/CMakeLists.txt:24 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindSFML.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SFML", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SFML" (requested
  version 2) with any of the following names:

    SFMLConfig.cmake
    sfml-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "SFML" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "SFML_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "SFML"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/jj/CSFML/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
make: *** [Makefile:252: cmake_check_build_system] Error 1

Thank you in advance for your help!

Try using the graphical cmake and follow this (c++ follows same build steps as csfml).
https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/compile-with-cmake.php
If a problem still occurs let me know.
Remember to export the environment variables, this has been a problem with my builds.

The graphic cmake did not do this...

$ cmake -L
CMake Warning:
  No source or binary directory provided.  Both will be assumed to be the
  same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
  become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

How is this supposed to be set?

SFML_DIR:PATH=SFML_DIR-NOTFOUND

If you use the command line you'd add it to the cmake call with -DSFML_DIR=/path/to/SFML/...

The situation became a little brighter:

  1. sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev

  2. git clone https://github.com/SFML/CSFML

  3. According to the comments on this issue

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=TRUE
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local
CSFML_BUILD_DOC:BOOL=FALSE
CSFML_LINK_SFML_STATICALLY:BOOL=FALSE
SFML_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/SFML
SFML_DOC_DIR:PATH=SFML_DOC_DIR-NOTFOUND

We managed to do it, but let me say frankly that it is not exactly written anywhere, best regards.
