GLFW help

bump because im still stuck.

Also if it helps im using code::blocks

My crystal ball is in the shop - can you tell us the errors? Maybe give us some code?

i cant even get that far.

When i download glfw its comes in a bunch of source files and i was told that i needed to combine those into a single library. Well i have no idea how to do that. If it had been errors and code problems i would have posted it.

Not familiar with Code Blocks but am familiar with GLFW. A google search yields this

How you build GLFW depends on the OS. One of the GLFW tutorials is a good start.

http://glfw.sourceforge.net/tutorials/lesson00/lesson00.html

Other than that you could potentially include the source in your project, not the most elegant solution, and compile it with the rest of your files.

If you can be more specific on the platform you're running on it may be beneficial.

Ok im checking the links now. Thanks for the help.

I use windows xp. I tried the glfw tutorials and no matter what i try i cant get it to work like the tutorial says it should.

Okay so I'm assuming you're doing Cygwin then?

If you read the documentation in the readme included with the source code you need to get into a cygwin shell, not a windows shell. Get to the directory where you unpacked the source and type the following

make cygwin-install

That should get everything going for you, and copy everything to the cygwin directory.

Honestly I'm not terribly familiar with using Cygwin as I'm more of a visual studio person, but that SHOULD work for you.

Here is a very good link for you. Hope it helps.
