how would you compile this on linux?

[WINSDK]

Create the main.cpp file listed in the README file and run your compiler on the two source files. You have to also add -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system to your compiler args. Also be sure you have a recent version of sfml installed.

it gives the following errors: g++ main.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: stdafx.h: No such file or directory 1 | #include "stdafx.h" | ^~~~~~ compilation terminated.

g++ LorenzAttractor.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system In file included from LorenzAttractor.h:2, from LorenzAttractor.cpp:1: vectormath.h:2:10: fatal error: SFML/Graphics.hpp: No such file or directory 2 | #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp> | ^~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

Bro, are you sure you have SFML installed? “No such file or directory” suggests it's not! Keep in mind this isn't just a regular C script that just does a calculation—we need the extension SFML for the visual interface! Just install Code::Blocks you must have version for Linux. Here is a guide for SFML in Linux: https://web.archive.org/web/20210422225352/http://www.edparrish.net/common/sfmlcb-linux.html

It is also possible the compiler is not finding the SFML. Try adding the -I option in your command: g++ main.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -I/path/to/SFML/headers

I have installed SFML, I installed it through my package manager, the thing is, I tried to follow the guide, but the dependencies have different names and/or don't even exist, I even clicked the extra link for the dependencies only to find that about 1/2 to a 1/3 of them didn't exist, I need a guide for Fedora, or else I am not able to follow the cmake way

Quick edit, I asked GPT for the alternatives and am going to try again, will update

Update: spits out the following, I have put the files physically in the SFML header directory:
