How do I compile this?

[ari-weber]

I have no idea how to compile this, nothing I have found online works at all...

[Laamy]

Visual Studio Code with CMake C++ and a few other exts

[Laamy]

Pretty sure you need these "C/C++" "C/C++ Include Guard
" "CMake" & "CMake Tools"

You can have a look at this https://github.com/johnBuffer/AntSimulator#compilation, the procedure is similar.

For anyone having issues with the compilation, to compile just navigate to the main directory of 'ClothSimulation'
e.g. for me its ned@debian:~/ClothSimulation$
Here open a terminal and first make sure you have cmake, build-essential and gdb installed, if not you can just run;

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential gdb

Now in the main directory run cmake .
Next run make
Then you can run the script with sudo ./Cloth

how do i specify where my sfml headers are located?

[ShaneWooosh]

it gives me that project files may be invalid, no wonder, cause i didn't even include, the path where to get sfml headers, and i don't really know how to

[johnBuffer]

If SFML is intalled CMake will find it automatically. What os are you on ?

[ShaneWooosh]

windows

[ShaneWooosh]

should i put sfml in the path, or something?

[ShaneWooosh]

what do you mean by installed? just being on my computer? Yes it is installed, i used it quite many times for my sfml projects

[ShaneWooosh]

tho, it's not in the same folder as cmake, not sure how cmake searches for the needed libraries

[johnBuffer]

What I mean by installed is "being known to cmake". To do so I personally build it myself and then build the "install" custom target in the solution generated by cmake

[ShaneWooosh]

what does "install" custom target mean?

[Nedcotter]

A custom Target is a file which will run install and some other script after.
e.g. In the ClothSimulation that would be the cmake_install.cmake as i show in the top right here:

I'm a little late to the party but I hope this helps someone. If you've downloaded a stable version of SFML, you can modify the SFML_DIR parameter in CMake to identify where you have SFML "installed", similar as such:
