I was able to sucessfully configure SFML-2.0 and the .5 version of TGUI with the 32 bit CMAKE 2.8
selecting the option to generate for Eclipse CDT4 MinGW 64.

My compiler version is TDM 64 bit, if you want make a compatible binary for the 64 bit obsessed:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/tdm64-gcc-4.7.1-3.exe/download

I was able to import the projects as 'General' 'from existing code' and was able to build them (in Eclipse) once I had selected GNU make to build with (for consistence I don't know if it were necessary).

Once all of this was done, I confirmed that everything was working by building tutorial level 3 and running it.

I don't know why I couldn't get it to work in VS. Oh well, I didn't really want to use it anyway.

My first project is going to be a paint program that automatically generates symmetrical patterns according to what symmetry and point of origin you select and applies the patterns to the canvas as you draw.

Thanks for the fast reply.

There doesn't seem to be a 64 bit named version of that program in the MinGW 64 directories. I have just realized that make files are called 'projects' in IDE's.

I learned this when I told cmake to generate for the version of visual studio I had, exactly like in the tutorial. I was able to open the project in Visual Studio and build it.

I wasn't able to get one of the posted tutorials working yet, but that might be a combination of problems and I'm not ready to ask for help until I've done all I could do. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

I'm having such a pain picking a toolchain to develop on windows. I had moved to the VS version of SFML because I was stuck with the VS version of SFGUI. SFGUI is not working except for when I choose all debug libraries for SFGUI and SFML. I don't like that.

Now that I want to use TGUI instead, I have the option of using MinGW again, but I'd really like to stick with 64 bit and avoid having to somehow generate makefiles compatible with use in Eclipse. I wouldn't know the first thing about doing that.
