SFML Setup on MacOS - Compile on Command Line - No XCode

SFML Setup on MacOS - Compile on Command Line - No XCode

Requirements

1. XCode needs to be installed to get compilers first (ie. clang, g++). It can be installed via AppStore.
2. You need sfml library which you can get the one I uploaded to this repository(v2.6.1)

$ git clone https://github.com/cakirburak/SFML-Setup-on-MacOS.git

Setup

1. Go into the sfml library

$ cd SFML-Setup-on-MacOS/sfml/2.6.1/

2. Copy the sfml libraries to the folder where standard libraries are;

$ sudo cp -r lib/* /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib

3. Copy the sfml includes to the folder where standard includes are;

$ sudo cp -r include/* /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1

After completing these steps you are ready to go!

Example Code and Compile

• Create a file named main.cpp and get the code below

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

• Compile and Run

$ g++ main.cpp -o sfml-app -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-audio
$ ./sfml-app

Happy Coding!
