The status of the Codeblocks cmake generators seems a little immature, so if you simply want to get up and running quickly the Visual Studio Express Desktop C++ compilers are free and easy to use with GLFW on Windows. It doesn’t sound as if you used cmake to create the project files, which means that you’ll need to manually configure glfw - possible but a potentially lengthy process. Hopefully the stuff here helps, if not more information such as the actual log output may be required. Note that the line “int glfwInit() ” declares a new function which returns int, thus compiling but not doing - I’m not a CodeBlocks expert, and installing / configuring that would take more time than I have to offer atm. If you’re running glfw3 won’t you please just write down how you installed the damn thing?ĭougbinks wrote on Saturday, December 21, 2013:īuild issues are difficult to diagnose without the output, and there are two different issues here (Codeblocks and Visual - It might help to move your question to a new thread if the help posted here doesn’t solve your problem. I have tried everything I can think of, including a complete re-install of codeblocks, switching between the 32 and 64 bit version of glfw3, linking to static and/or dynamic lib version, all without having a clue what’s wrong. When trying to run the short example code in the GLFW documentation page ( ), I get a lot of “undefined reference to…” errors. I have tried a large number of different linker settings. The dll file is placed in Windows/System32 folder. I’m using the pre-built code blocks 12.11 mingw setup version available here:
