SFML...
Ok, this is my 3rd attempt to install SFML in the last month.
I just can't get it to work, man it's pissing me off!
I'm using C::B and I followed the exact instructions on the website, yet it keeps telling me: SFML\system.hpp is not found while I linked it all ...
please help!

From the tutorial on this page:

You must have missed this step or did it incorrectly:
"Leave the SFML files where you want, and setup Code::Blocks so that it can find them"
If the compiler is telling you it can't find system.hpp, then you must have put the wrong directory in that config. Double check the path you gave it and make sure the SFML folder (with system.hpp in it) is in that path.

Ok after 2 hours of searching I finally got it working...only to find out that I can't display projects because I have an ATI driver...
Man this is driving me nuts!

I honestly don't know why so many people have trouble setting up SFML. I didn't have any problems with it.

I had massive problems until I used the makefile. Then it was fine.
But I know there is some runtime problem with the default font which one of my blog readers suffered, but I didn't...

It seems that only Catalyst Control Center 10.8 an lower is supported, I'm at 11.4 -.-'
I'm not going to downgrade all the way just for SFML...
Guess I'll stick with Qt for now and wait for SFML 2.0 (Where it should be fixed)

Just kidding =) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing
After trying to install SFML for a couple days I just discovered that MingW 4.1.1 isn't compatiable with SFML 1.6. So I'm "Upgrading!"
EDIT: Or at least thats what laurent said in another forum post I was reading.

You should use SFML 2.0, IMO. There are some features that have changed noticeably as far as public interface is concerned, so you should get used to the new version now :)
Also, that will force you to build it yourself using the Makefile, and in my experience, that means far fewer problems.

I for-see many long painful headaches!
If you follow the website tutorial for SFML 2.0 building etc. with the makefile, it should be fairly easy. Just download CMake and use the GUI :)
If you want a video tutorial for this, then you can find mine here:

In my experience it's more problematic to try and use the provided binaries, or even the provided MSVC solution than to do it with the makefile. So yeah, have fun :P
