Box2D and SFML Demo, with DebugDraw implemented with SFML

Box2d and SFML demo

About

This little project is a demo of the merge of two great libs, SFML and Box2D

Dependencies

• SFML >= 1.6
• Box2D >= 2.1.2

Build & execute

GNU/Linux

mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake ..
make
make install
cd ../
./box2dsfml

Windows

You need a compiler like Mingw and CMake In windows you have to set the env variables. To do this, add to the PATH the location of this 4 paths

• The lib directory of SFML (Where the SFML libs are: "*.a, *.dll ...")
• The headers directory of SFML (Where "SFML" folder is)
• The lib directory of where Box2D lib file is (For example: libBox2D.a)
• The headers directory of Box2D (Where "Box2D" folder is)

The PATH variable you should add (note: add ';' at the front) at the end of the PATH is something like this (Note that my Box2D lib is in the same folder of the Box2D header dir so I only add one path for the box2D)

C:\sources\SFML-1.6\include;C:\sources\SFML-1.6\lib;C:\sources\Box2D_v2.1.2_bin

Then use the same way to compile as in GNU/Linux (for example with mingw32-make)

mkdir ./build
[run cmake-gui]
[select project and build dir]
[push generate]
[enter with cmd in build dir]
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install
[if install fails, copy the executable in '/build/src/box2dsfml' to the root of the project (where resources folder is)]
