The latest version of cmake should be able to generate VS 2013 solutions, so if you install that and then use the cmake GUI you should be able to sort this out - or have you tried that and are having issues?

OK, I’ve checked out VS 2013 and apparently it isn’t updated for VS 2013 but I could be wrong

So you’ve installed the latest cmake http://www.cmake.org/ and generated the Visual Studio project files with that, or was that the problem?

Yeah, it doesn’t generate the project files, I don’t know If I’m doing something wrong or what?

This works for me.

  1. Downloaded cmake version 2.8.12.1 from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
  2. Ran the GUI cmake (cmake-gui).
  3. Set the source code to be the glfw directory.
  4. Set the build directory to be a directory called glfw_build. This can be anywhere, but I placed it adjacent but not within glfw
  5. Clicked configure. Selected the generator Visual Studio 12 (as VS 2013 is version 12 of the compiler toolchain).
  6. Clicked generate.
  7. Opened the project file in the glfw_build dir. This worked fine.
