Thank you for the reply. I had thought the problem is related to vulkan so I asked in particular in this separate thread, but after I added -ldl, the linker errors returns to its origin. Could you please take a look at the problem in thread “[How to link GLFW?](http://discourse.glfw.org/t/how-to-link-glfw/838)” Thanks a lot.
