**OS:** OSX Yosemite  
\*\*IDE:\*\*Xcode 6.4  
**GLFW verison:** 3.3.1

New to GLFW, need help getting started. This is what I have done so far:

**1. Build the binaries. Within the glfw-3.3.1 folder, called:**  
_cmake ._

**2. Installed the binaries by calling:**  
_sudo make install_

**3. In Xcode, added the following libraries under “link with binary libraries”:**

```
* libglfw3.a
* Cocoa.framework
* IOKit.framework
* OpenGL.framework

```

**4. Added the followind search paths to my project:**

- Header Search Path: /usr/local/include
- Library Search Path: /usr/local/lib

**5.Finally, I tried to compile the following code:** [http://www.glfw.org/documentation.html](http://www.glfw.org/documentation.html)

However, it did not compile and gave me the following errors:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

None of those images work for me - perhaps you could try copy-pasting the  
text error as text?
