configure SFML for clion (windows)

Question

i am setting up a work environment for a school project on my windows computer. We are going to make a basic game using c++ and CLion. To make a game i need to use the SFML

Answer 1

I believe you are missing the link_directories() call. You can use it like this:

link_directories("C:/Path_To_Library")

This should help solve your issue.

Answer 2

I have successfully configured SFML with CLion on Ubuntu 16.04 and I think it will be same for Window user also.

My project name is SFML_TEST so change every occurrence of SFML_TEST with your project name.

1. Create a new Clion C++ Project.
2. Navigate to /path/to/CLionProjects/[Project_Name]/CMakeLists.txt

3. After the following statement

   add_executable(SFML_TEST ${SOURCE_FILES})
   

   Add following lines of code

   set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/cmake_modules")
   find_package(SFML REQUIRED system window graphics network audio)
   if (SFML_FOUND)
   include_directories(${SFML_INCLUDE_DIR})
   target_link_libraries(SFML_TEST ${SFML_LIBRARIES})
   endif()
   

4. Create a new directory /path/to/CLionProjects/[project_name]/cmake_modules/FindSFML.cmake

5. In FindSFML.cmake file paste the following line of code from the given file https://github.com/SFML/SFML/blob/master/cmake/Modules/FindSFML.cmake
6. Done!!!.. Happy Coding

Answer 3

my fix was, that I had to change the root path of SFML in the FindSFML.cmake

so just set(SFML_ROOT Z://your_project) after the block of comments and you are ready to go
