Choosing Set Up

1
In this tutorial you learn 3 was to set up SFML in Project with Visual Studio.
- Set up binaries x86 (32 bits). It's the easiest. You should start learning set up from here.
- Set up binaries x64 (64 bits). It targets x64 platform. Choose it only when you have specific reason for doing so.
- Compile SFML source, and set up in project. Targets x64 too.The most difficult. The best though.

Community Q&A

Question

There is no "Export template" option, what should I do? I am using the community version.

Community Answer

If the "Export template" options is unavailable, then it is likely that you failed to keep open "Project-0" when trying to export the template. It is the mother or patron project for creating the template with it. If there is no project open, you can't create a template, so there is no "Export Template" option.
