Hi, I’m trying to use GLFW with Borlanc C++ Compiler tools and I keep getting the error:

"Error: Unresolved external ‘\_glfwGetTime’ referenced from "

I have tried Googling it an even used the implib function to recreate the .lib file from the glfw.dll.

Still got the same error.

Can anyone help me? I might have to give up using GLFW and programme the Windows implementations myself…
