    SFML, Box2D in VSCode (macOS)

Project structure


Create new project folder.
Inside of the project folder, create folders include and lib.
Create main.cpp with code:

  #include "include/SFML/Graphics.hpp"
  #include "include/box2d/box2d.h"
  int main(){}

Notice that since we have headers in the project folder /include, we need to use double quotes "" instead of <>.

Create compile.sh script with the following contents:

  #! /bin/sh
  g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o main -I include -L lib -l sfml-system -l sfml-window -l sfml-graphics -l sfml-audio -l sfml-network -l box2d -Wl,-rpath ./lib

Run this script after you placed sfml and box2d headers and library files into your project. It should compile and run without errors.
SFML


Download Mac version of SFML.
Copy contents of the include folder and paste them in your projects include folder (it should be project/include/SFML).
Copy contents of the lib folder (dylib files) and paste them in your projects lib folder.

Box2D


Download source code from Github: https://github.com/erincatto/box2d
Run box2d/build.sh
From box2d/build/bin folder there is now libbox2d.a. Copy and paste it to your projects lib folder.
Copy box2d/include/box2d folder and paste it to your projects include folder.
