Linking local installation of GLFW [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?

    32 answers




I want to link against a project installed, rather than OS installed, version of GLFW to make my project more portable. I am trying to use both premake and gcc directly but they both fail.



The glfw directory is in project/libraries/glfw-3.2.1



I tried to build glfw by doing: 



cd project/libraries/glfw-3.2.1

mkdir bin

cd bin

cmake ..

make all


however I do not see any binary on that directory although I did find the file libglfw3.a



So I tried to build it manually as follows:



g++ main.cpp -I libraries/glfw-3.2.1/include/ -L libraries/glfw-3.2.1/bin/src/libglfw3.a


However that fails to link as none of the glfw objects are found. i.e
I get errors like:



/usr/bin/ld: main.cpp:(.text+0x27): undefined reference to `glfwWindowHint'





c++ compilation linker glfw premake

          try this



          g++ main.cpp -I libraries/glfw-3.2.1/include -L libraries/glfw-3.2.1/bin/src -lglfw3


          Using -L you are telling the compiler where the library lies but you should use -l to link it

            Almost correct, it seems it should be glfw and not glfw3 for the -l, thanks a lot

          Create new schema in PostgreSQL using DBeaver

          Image
          0 At the beginning of my current job I had limited access to DB but recently my role is changed to superuser, admin, and owner. My colleague who was the previous DB admin is able to create a schema or change the permissions as there is a permission tab in the properties and he can change permissions by clicking easily. Would you please let me know how I can create schema and change permissions as well? Why his dbeaver looks different from me? He can easily right click on the schema folder on top of all schemas on the left side column and select create new schema while I do not have that, like the following picture I found on the internet. postgresql database-schema dbeaver share | improve this question

          Deepest pit of an array with Javascript: test on Codility

          Image
          0 $begingroup$ This is the question from a Codility test, as a task in an interview: DeepestPit - problem description A non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. A pit in this array is any triplet of integers (P, Q, R) such that: ·         0 ≤ P < Q < R < N; ·         sequence [A[P], A[P+1], ..., A[Q]] is strictly decreasing, i.e. A[P] > A[P+1] > ... > A[Q]; ·         sequence A[Q], A[Q+1], ..., A[R] is strictly increasing, i.e. A[Q] < A[Q+1] < ... < A[R]. The depth of a pit (P, Q, R) is the number min {A[P] − A[Q], A[R] − A[Q]}. For example, consider array A consisting of 10 elements such that: A[0] = 0 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = -2 A[4] = 0 A[5] = 1 A[6] = 0 A[7] = -3 A[8] = 2 A[9] = 3 Triplet (2, 3, 4) is
