I’m unsuccessfully trying to build pySFML from https://github.com/intjelic/python-sfml on my Windows machine with Python 3.12.

I have downloaded SFML 2.3.2 from https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.3.2/ and have Visual Studio 22 installed.

After extracting SFML-2.3.2 to C:libraries, i have set the Environment-Variables:

SFML_DIR       = C:librariesSFML-2.3.2
SFML_HEADERS   = C:librariesSFML-2.3.2include
SFML_LIBRARIES = C:librariesSFML-2.3.2lib

I then git-cloned the repo https://github.com/intjelic/python-sfml.git into a Python 3.12 venv with Cython-Version 3.0.10.

When I first tried:

pip install .

I got:

Error compiling Cython file:
      ------------------------------------------------------------
      ...

      from libcpp.string cimport string

      cimport time
              ^
      ------------------------------------------------------------

      includeIncludessfmlsfml.pxd:9:8: 'time.pxd' not found

the file is indeed in the directory and there is also a empty init.py file, but anyways I changed it to:

from . cimport Time

It now finds the file but I get:

Error compiling Cython file:
      ------------------------------------------------------------
      ...

      from sfml cimport Time

      cdef extern from "SFML/System.hpp" namespace "sf::Time":
          cdef Time Zero
               ^
      ------------------------------------------------------------

      includeIncludessfmlTime.pxd:10:9: 'Time' is not a type identifier

The actual traceback is much longer (the same as above for every other class) and can be seen here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-cr/pySFML-traceback/main/pySFML_traceback.txt

Did anyone manage to install pySFML? Help would be much appreciated..!
