You are expected to have a working version of msys, mingw, cmake and git installed.

Just click on the links and run the appropriate installers.

Two words of warning that you can find here as well:

You must prepend the bin-directory of your mingw- and msys-installation to your path: If you installed mingw to C:\MinGW, add C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin to your user path (not to your system path).

After the installation, open up the MinGW Shell (Start>All Programs>MinGW>MinGW Shell) and enter /postinstall/pi.bat. Now you should be ready to use mingw from the windows command line as well.

On linux, run sudo apt-get install cmake git as you don't need mingw and msys.

Compilers other than g++ are currently not supported. They may or may not work.

How to install sfml:

In a shell with adminstrative priviledges, run:

$ cd C:\Windows\Temp # any directory
$ git clone git@github.com:LaurentGomila/SFML
$ cd SFML
$ git checkout 2.0
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles"
$ cmake -DSFML_BUILD_DOC=TRUE # Only if doxygen is installed.
$ make install
$ cmake -DSFML_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make install

For linux, use the Unix Makefiles-generator instead of MSYS Makefiles.

You're done! The libraries are located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\SFML and /usr/local/lib respectively.
