Hello,  
I tried to get to work this combination, and I just find it nearly impossible to function.  
I watched all the tutorials and read all the forum posts, but nothing worked. Then, i tried to get to work SDL2, and that worked. I want to get GLFW to work, because i have got so many things to do with it. Please help?!!!

I believe cmake now supports outputing Code::Blocks project files, so you should be able to use that.

[Documentation for cmake + code::blocks here](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/generator/CodeBlocks.html) and [a stack overflow example here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37618040/codeblocks-with-cmake). To use [cmake with GLFW see the documentation on this page](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build_guide.html#build_link_cmake_package).
