Hi everyone,

There’s a similar thread but it’s from 2010 and regards version 2.6 of GLFW.

I’m trying to run the code from the tutorial on the homepage: http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/quick.html

I tried including the headers and libraries from the 32 bit Windows binaries from the download page, but this is what I get when I try to build:

1>------ Build started: Project: first_glfw_proj, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Build started 4/20/2014 5:31:24 PM.

Anybody know what’s going on?

Thanks a lot

Hi mosesr!

For GLFW 2.x you must include “glfw.h”, not “glfw3.h”.
But even if you fix this you’ll get more errors anyway.
Don’t mix sample application for GLFW 3 and include files & libraries from GLFW 2.x. Many things changed since September, 2007!!!
Why you don’t want to use the latest version? It works very well.

Regards.
