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
