GLFW Undefined References

Question

I'm trying to use GLFW on a project, but when I compile it, I get a lot of undefined reference errors, while many of them is on the library file (libglfw.a). I tried both, compile the library and download it, but without success. I'm using MinGW and MSYS running on Windows 7 32-bits on netbeans. The GLFW version is 2.7.3;

These are the errors:

Answer 1

Don't you have to link the OpenGL libs as well? I don't see libGL or libGLU. I know glClear is in either libGL or libGLU.

Answer 2

In the linker, at Windows, MinGW: -lglew32 -lglfw3 -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lgdi32

Put the libs and the includes files in MinGW and the dlls and exes at Windows systems folders.

Answer 3

In my case the problem was different. I was linking opengl32 in, but still getting the error. The problem turned out to be the library order: glfw has to be linked in before opengl32.

In my case this was in the "Link libraries" listbox in the Code::Blocks IDE, but it's going to be similar in NetBeans or on the command line.
