Xcode – How do I use SFML on Apple M1 Mac?

First, install SFML with brew.

brew install sfml

Get location information

brew info sfml

You will see /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sfml/2.X.Y in the output. It is the location for headers, lib, etc.

Compile with

g++ main.cpp -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sfml/2.5.1_1/include -o app -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sfml/2.5.1_1/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

Last step is:

./app

Done!

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(640, 480), "SFML Application");
    sf::CircleShape shape;
    shape.setRadius(40.f);
    shape.setPosition(100.f, 100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Cyan);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;

        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }
}
