SFML for the Raspberry Pi (w/ hardware accelerated graphics and no X dependency)

SFML-Pi

SFML on the Raspberry Pi with hardware graphics and no X11 dependency.

Install

Step 1: Install the SFML dependencies

• See: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/compile-with-cmake.php
• You need to install the libraries required for building SFML on Linux (other than the x11 ones... x11, xrandr, xcb*).
• The command on rasbian should look something like this:

sudo apt-get install cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg8-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libraspberrypi-dev

Step 2: Build SFML-Pi

• From the source directory for sfml-pi, run cmake with the '-DSFML_RPI=1' parameter.
• Once cmake runs successfully, compile using 'sudo make install' and then 'sudo ldconfig'
• The commands should look something like this:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DSFML_RPI=1 -DEGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DEGL_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so -DGLES_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DGLES_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

That's it! You should now be able to use SFML on your raspberry pi with hardware accelerated graphics and no need to be running X.
