I was trying to use the SFML library to practise c++, so here's what i did in order to link the library:

I went to Build Settings > Header Search Paths and i inserted the absolute path leading to SFML's include folder.
Then i went to Build Settings > Library Search Paths and i inserted the absolute path leading to SFML's lib folder.

When i try to compile it says that the symbols can't be found...
What have i done wrong? isn't this the way you link libraries?

Have you linked the libraries? – Alan Birtles Mar 02 '21 at 15:38
i'm new to xcode, doesn't adding path to library search path do just that? – Adonai Mar 02 '21 at 15:39
it tells xcode where to look for a library not which libraries to look for – Alan Birtles Mar 02 '21 at 15:39
but how do i do that in xcode i can't seem to find the answer, i went to link libraries with binaries, i selected the dylib file relative to the cpp header file ad it doesn't work. – Adonai Mar 02 '21 at 15:59
