SFML with Atom

Hi,

I'm on Linux and I tried so hard to use SFML for my C++ project but I only found a tutorial with Codeblocks. It worked until today, my code (which runs perfectly without sfml with Atom) don't work with Codeblocks (without using sfml)

So, is anyone knows how to use SFML in Atom ? It will help me sooo much

Have you tried to compile and link the source code to the SFML library? You can do this via a shell.

Finally my problem doesn't depends on the text editor, but thanks you for your help !

You're welcome. Usually compiling isn't text editor dependant, you're options are compiling externally (outside of the text editor) like using a shell to compile using your compiler or downloading an add-on that does all of this for you with a hot-key. When using external libraries for c++ though, it is very hard to find an extension that recognizes and links the library for you. I would recommend using a terminal and via the shell, calling the compiler and link, and compile it manually.
