I try to find this library but impossible to lay a finger on it.If someone knows where i can found this library i will be happy.
I’m using Code::Blocks as IDE with MinGW on Winxp pro.Thanks to help me

Just put the supplied GLFW lib ( either static or dynamic ) and GLFW.h in your compiler /LIBS and /INCLUDE directory respectively …

Without supplying these files, your compiler can’t resolve all the GLFW symbols :slight_smile:

thanks for you’re reply but i don’t have lglfw.a in the package that i downloaded, I have only the header file in the package (for windows).
If somebody can tell me where i can get the
LGLFW.a it will be a pleasure.

That’s what the source code is for. Compile it to generate libglfw.a

you need to compile the entire GLFW library, ofcourse… if you would have read the instructions that came with GLFW you should’ve seen how it’s done. also, it’s a really, really, really, really good tip to actually learn some basic C and basic knowledge about how compilation etc. works before venturing into something bigger, like GLFW :slight_smile:

ps. use the compile.bat file in the glfw root directory…
