Known Issue for SFML 2.5.1 built on arm64 platform

[charmhe]

Platform: Mac M1
SFML ver: 2.5.1

When building SMFL 2.5.1 from source code on the arm64 platform (Mac M1, as I used), there are two issues due to the change of constructors.

In MainMenu::initWindow:

const sf::VideoMode videoMode = sf::VideoMode(800, 600);
const sf::Uint32 style = sf::Style::Close | sf::Style::Titlebar;

to

const sf::VideoMode videoMode = sf::VideoMode(sf::Vector2u(800, 600), 32);
const std::uint32_t style = sf::Style::Close | sf::Style::Titlebar;

Similar to in the Game.cpp.

Cheers,
Cha

Hello, @charminh

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to test this as I do not have access to a Mac M1/M2. The strongest arm computer I have is a Raspberry Pi.

If you know what the issue is and managed to test it on your end, do not hesitate to submit a PR for this! I'll make sure it still works as expected on my end and approve it once everything is ok

@mirceanton yea I will do that for sure. The only concern is that it requires cross-compiling support, which is natural to build tools like CMake, but a little bit tricky for Makefile. I will include a CMakelist.txt for your reference as well.

I have no experience with CMake unfortunately, but feel free to propose the changes.

Make sure to add some docs on getting started or something like that to have a guide on how to compile the code using CMake and I'll review it.
