How to make a basic SFML?

[Superdude]

I have downloaded the SFML libraries and I don't know how to start. Do I use
int main?

So far my code:

#include <C:\SFML\include\SFML.h> 

I need to know how to link to the libs with VS 2012. If you know how to do VS 2010, it would be fine too.

Thanks

This is all explained on their site.

But anyway,
Go to your project properties, and:
- Under C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories: add your SFML include directory (in your case, it looks like C:\SFML\include)
- Under Linker -> Additional Library Directories: add the SFML lib directory (probably C:\SFML\lib)
- Under Linker -> Input -> Additional Files (or something like that): make a semicolon separated list of the sfml library files your project is using (e.g. "sfml-graphics-d.lib;sfml-audio-d.lib" for the debug graphics and audio libs, etc.)

Now when you include SFML headers, just write #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp> or whatever.

As for example programs, there are some on the SFML site you can copy and try to run. See the earlier link at the bottom of the page.

Ok, the way I did it was follow the SFML official site setup instructions exactly. It works! Thank you Zhuge and Disch

If you use a different tutorial after you have it set up, make sure you have a tutorial about version 2.0 or 2.1. The 1.6 naming convention is different.
It makes it very hard to use.
