I packaged SFML for conda.

Installing SFML with conda is really straighforward:

conda install -c conda-forge sfml

This installs the dynamic library in the current conda environment, it works on Windows, OSX and Linux.

Would you be interested in me adding it to the documentation? I'm happy to open a PR for it.

Thanks for setting this up in conda! 😊

My plan so far was to have a new setup tutorial that shows different options with different package managers (vcpkg, conan, conda, etc).

Additionally, we will have to evaluate the "risk" of providing links on official pages to third-party maintained packages. Since we're not maintaining them, there's no guarantee that the packages are up to date and we check verify the validity of each package. But if it's isolated on a separate page and we potentially add some information, then I think it would be fine. 🙂

Moving the suggestion from @NancyLi1013 over here.

Installing and building sfml via vcpkg

You can download and install sfml using the vcpkg dependency manager:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install sfml

The sfml port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.
