i have build on linux-debian.
but failed when i run command-line. Can some teach me how to link Library and Header file rigth way?
Hi @vitcon,
welcome to the GLFW forum. The easiest to make a GLFW program would be with this GLFW Cmake Starter:
The errors you are seeing are due to you not linking to the GLFW library, you need to add -lglfw. However after adding this you will likely get further errors due to needing to link to other libraries as well. You can use pkg-config to help configure the required compile-time and link-time flags and dependencies needed to use a library:
https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build_guide.html#build_link_pkgconfig
In future note that it’s easier for us if rather than attaching images you copy and paste the text from your console.
Good luck!

Thanks you very much. This very useful for me. 
Linking errors like those are not necessarily because you omitted -lglfw, although this is what I would check first. Some linkers demand a specific way to link libraries, and the “correct” way may depend on the distribution you are using. For example, the “logical” way to link is -lGL -lglfw (first OpenGL, then GLFW) - and indeed it works just fine in most cases. However, I got linking errors like the ones you had on some Debian-based distributions, where -lglfw -lGL worked instead.
You can always add -Wl,--start-group before libraries and -Wl,--end-group at end, then rest of them can go in the middle in any order, like this:
-Wl,--start-group -lGL -lglfw -Wl,--end-group
