CMP202 - Data Structures and Algorithms 2

Statically compile SFML

1. Download SFML source wget https://github.com/SFML/SFML/releases/download/2.5.1/SFML-2.5.1-sources.zip -O ~/Downloads/SFML-2.5.1-sources.zip
2. unzip to the /opt directory unzip ~/Downloads/SFML-2.5.1-sources.zip -d /opt/
3. Install dependencies (Ubuntu 20.04.4 used for testing)
   • libx11-dev (X11)
   • libxrandr-dev (xrandr)
   • libgl1-mesa-dev (OpenGL)
   • libudev-dev (UDev)
   • libfreetype-dev (freetype)
   • libopenal-dev (OpenAL)
   • libvorbis-dev (Vorbis)
   • libflac-dev (FLAC)
4. cmake -S /opt/SFML-2.5.1 -B /opt/sfml-build -G Ninja -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE
5. change directory to /opt/sfml-build and create a new file CMAKELists.txt
6. add the line set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS FALSE) to CMAKELists.txt
7. run cmake . && ninja all to build the static libs
8. finally run ninja install may need to be ran with sudo privileges

Compile the program

1. run the following command in the root of the project directory
   • cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja -G Ninja -S . -B ./cmake-build-release
2. change directory to cmake-build-release and run ninja all
