I don’t know Code::Blocks but the general [instructions for building applications with GLFW can be found in this documentation link](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build_guide.html).

There is a [Code::Blocks wiki for GLFW if you follow this link](http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Using_GLFW_with_Code::Blocks).

Ah - I thought you wanted to use Code::Blocks, this is using the command line.

Oh yeah i am sorry i didn’t quit explain.What i wanted was just the process of installation of the Libs i needed,now all i do is link the code::blocks project to them using the project build options.
