I am a Computer Science student who is planning to develop a solar system project in c++

I keep getting set\_target (properties…) issues when I try to configure cmake to use glfw .

Please fix glfw 3.4 so that Cmake recognises glfw

I will posting the error messages  
Cmakelist cannot be found in … directory

Set\_target not found

Hi @shivloo welcome to the GLFW forum,
