Hi,

I’m trying to compile some source code that uses the glfw library. I’m on a
linux machine at school. I am trying to install the library using make
x11-install but I get permission denied (probably because I am at school).
Is there any way around this? Thanks.

Ian

You likely need root permissions to install GLFW to its default location.
However, you don’t have to install it to use it.
