Setting Up GLFW Project in Ubuntu

(1/2) > >>

Blakeasd:
Hello,

I just install glfw via the make files today, but I can't get it to work in Code::Blocks -- I actually can't get past the new project wizard.

To create the project, I do File > New Project

I then select GLFW from the list and click Go. I name the project and click Next. The problem occurs when I get to the "Select GLFW location". I'm not sure what to put here. The headers are in one place and the .a libglfw is in another. Do I just put the libglfw folder that I downloaded from the libglw website?

Additional Information: I am using Code::Blocks v.10.05

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have already seen what you have linked. I don't know what the base directory for glfw is referring to. The downloaded project folder or the folder where libraries are installed in Linux?

Thanks

It is NOT referring to your files.
It is referring to the glfw include files and library files.

Hmm... So I put this in  /home/blake/glfw-2.7.8 [the folder downloaded from the website] and Code::Blocks doesn't recognize it. It says that it can't find the following glf library file:

glfw in it

I'm quite honestly not sure what I'm missing here.

Thanks for all of your help so far!
