XCODE 4 TEMPLATES FOR SFML 2
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
These templates help you to easily create a new SFML 2 project for Xcode 4.
|

Web Site
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can find more resources and information on the official web site : http://www.sfml-dev.org/

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* You can choose between command line tool or bundle application, the latter will contains all SFML dependencies so you can run your app on another computer without manually installing SFML.
|
|
* You can choose between using SFML libraries as dylibs or frameworks.
|
|
* You can choose your compiler and C++ standard library / dialect.
|
|
* You can choose with SFML module you want to use into your project.
|
|
* You automatically get a basic example to test SFML right away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Before installing the template, make sure you have installed :
|
|
|
|
- Xcode 4 (the templates were tested with Xcode 4.5.2)
|
|
- SFML 2, either as framework or dylibs binaries
|
|
|
|
There is one constraint on the installation of SFML : the frameworks needs to be installed in /Library/Frameworks and the dylibs into /usr/local/lib. You don't need both but make sure they are in the correct folder.
|
|
|
|
You should also be familiar with Xcode 4. If needed checkout this document : http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/000-About_Xcode/about.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
If you are building SFML from sources you can set CMake's INSTALL_XCODE4_TEMPLATES variable to TRUE to install the templates automatically. Otherwise proceed as follow :
|
|
1. Make sure "~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/" folder exists;
|
|
2. Copy "SFML" folder into the above folder.
|
|
The 'install.sh' script in the same directory as this readme does that for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To use these templates follow these steps :
|
|
|
|
1. open Xcode 4,
|
|
2. select "create a new Xcode project" from the "Welcome to Xcode" window or select menus File > New > New Project,
|
|
3. select "SFML" subsection under "Mac OS X" on the left,
|
|
4. then select either "SFML App", if you want an application bundle, or "SFML CLT", if you prefer a classic Unix executable,
|
|
5. fill in the requested information and you're ready to go !
|
|
|
|
Note : some settings are marked as "[ADVANCED]" in the wizard. If you're not sure what they are, simply keep the default settings. If you get errors later you would probably want to explore their meaning.

Question & Answer
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* I want to use Xcode 3. Can I use these templates anyway ?
|
|
|
|
No, Xcode 3 and 4 don't have the same template system. Therefore these templates won't work with a older version of Xcode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I'm still using SFML 1.6. Can I use these templates anyway ?
|
|
|
|
No, these templates were made for SFML 2 only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I would like to add/remove a module of SFML from my current project without creating a new project. How can I do that ?
|
|
|
|
1. select your project in the project navigator panel,
|
|
2. select your project's target on the main area,
|
|
3. go to the "Build Settings" tab,
|
|
4. go down to the bottom,
|
|
5. set SFML_XXX variable, where XXX is the name of the module to add/remove, to "$(SFML_LINK_PREFIX)sfml-XXX$(SFML_LINK_SUFFIX)" to add it or to "" (nothing) to remove it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I changed my mind and would like to switch from dylibs to frameworks or vice versa. How can I do that ?
|
|
|
|
1. select your project in the project navigator panel,
|
|
2. select your project's target on the main area,
|
|
3. go to the "Build Settings" tab,
|
|
4. go down to the bottom,
|
|
5. set SFML_BINARY_TYPE to either "DYLIBS" or "FRAMEWORKS".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* How to use/don't use debug dylibs ?
|
|
|
|
You can choose to use or not SFML debug binaries when creating a new project. However, if you have already created your project you can do the following :
|
|
|
|
1. select your project from the project navigator panel,
|
|
2. select your project's target on the main area,
|
|
3. go to the "Build Settings" tab,
|
|
4. go down to the bottom,
|
|
5. set SFML_LINK_DYLIBS_SUFFIX_DEBUG to "-d" to use them or to "" (empty string) to use only release binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I want to use the static version of SFML. Is it possible ?
|
|
|
|
Short answer : Don't do that!
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend you to use either dylibs or frameworks on Mac OS X. Please refer to Apple documentation for information about static vs shared libraries debate.
|
|
|
|
If you really need/want to use static libraries proceed as follow. First, set your project to use dylibs (see above Q & A). Then set SFML_LINK_DYLIBS_SUFFIX to "-s-d" in debug mode and to "-s" in release mode. Finally, remove the script automatically generated by the template (see Build Phases tab).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I get strange linker error about std::string and other STL types. What shall I do ?
|
|
|
|
This probably means you're compiling your project against a different implementation of the STL than SFML. When you created the project, you might have chosen the wrong C++ compiler & standard library. You can update your project's build settings; more specifically the Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C, the C++ language Dialect and the C++ Standard Library. You can find more information in the getting started tutorial for Mac OS X on the official web site.
