sfml_cmake_skeleton

Skeleton project folder for building SFML-project with CMake

How to build?

You need CMake. Install it for command line atleast. If you are not sure if you have it: cmake --version

After installing CMake follow steps 1-7

  1. Clone project or download Zip-file and unzip it
  2. Open terminal inside of the project
  3. mkdir build - to make "build" directory inside of project folder
  4. cd ./build - go inside of "build" folder
  5. cmake ./../' - to link files
  6. make - to build project
  7. ./a - to display output

How to use?

If you are new to CMake don't worry so am I. I made this for myself so it will be easy to copy this for new project and be ready to go without additional hassle.

  • In project folder you will find "CMakeLists.txt". Don't rename it and don't move it if you don't know what you are doing.
  • Add your ".cpp"-files here: set(SOURCES src/main.cpp 'here'). Don't forget "src/".
  • Create your header files (".h/.hpp")-files inside of src folder. If you want to put them into different folder just modify this line: include_directories(your_include_folder_name)
  • If your project uses additional files like images or fonts keep them in "res" folder. and add this line for each additional file configure_file(res/filename.extension filename.extension COPYONLY)

Not working?

If you have renamed your project folder after building the project try this:

  • Delete everything inside of "build" folder. Do steps 5-7 again inside of empty "build" folder.
