[Question] SFML/Graphics.hpp file not found

[vikrammeyer]

I am on macOS Monterey and I have cmake and sfml installed via brew. However when I run, python3 setup.py develop I am getting the fatal error of SFML/Graphics.hpp' file not found. It appears that brew is installing SFML as below:

I ensured /usr/local/lib has the .dylib files for sfml and I manually copied the include directory from the downloaded SFML to /usr/local/include so that SFML/Graphics.hpp exists in there. None of this has worked in getting the project to compile and I am unsure how to proceed. Any tips on how to proceed to get this working?

Looking into this, but just to check, did you follow the M1 instructions if you have an M1 chip?

[vikrammeyer]

I have an Intel chip so I did not do any of the M1 instructions. I do not use conda but from my understanding this would not be the issue.

I just tried this on my Mac and it worked:

-- Found SFML 2.5.1 in /opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/SFML

Does this path exist for you? If so, do you have the following in your PATH?

> echo $PATH
/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin

[vikrammeyer]

/opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/SFML does not exist for me, in fact /opt/homebrew/ does not even exist for me. I get -- Found SFML 2.5.1 in /usr/local/lib/cmake/SFML
