Setting Up GLFW Project in Ubuntu

<< < (2/2)

stahta01:
I can NOT help you use Linux and programming using GLFW.
(I am a windows user who never have used GLFW.)

You going to have to find someone else.

Note: This is only slightly a Code::Blocks topic.

It mainly is how to program using Libraries.

I suggest NOT using the Code::Blocks GLFW Wizard and instead use the empty project option.
Do it all manually and you will learn more; or you can wait till someone helps you here or on another site.

If you continue with this after you get a project created make sure full compiler logging is on.

BlueHazzard:
Why are you using c::b 10.05?
Are you using linux?
have you done make install?

i didn't have this c::b version any more, but in the 12.10 if you start a new GLFW Project there opens the Global Variable Editor with the Variable of glfw selected. There are several fields with the name base include lib...
sou in base i would point to the downloaded folder
in include i would point to downloadetFolder/include
in lib i would point to downloadedFolder/lib

Jenna:
Is there a good reason not to use the glfw-packages provided by ubuntu ?
In this case the base-path shoud only point to /usr (in most cases).

Blakeasd:
Thanks BlueHazzard and jens. I upgraded to Code::Blocks 12 and used /usr as the GLFW location. This seemed to do the trick. Using /usr in Code::Blocks 10 does not work. I wonder why in the Ubuntu "app store" the latest version of Code::Blocks available is 12.

Thanks Again for All the Help!
