compile GLFW in cygwin

Question

I am trying to compile glfw with cygwin but getting errors like this

../src/glfw3.lib(win32_monitor.c.obj):win32_monitor.c:(.text+0x8a): undefined reference to `__imp_CreateDCW'
../src/glfw3.lib(win32_monitor.c.obj):win32_monitor.c:(.text+0x8a): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `__imp_CreateDCW'

Can someone help here ? Anyone has successfull experience in compiling glfw with cygwin ?

Answer 1

Have you linked the libraries opengl32 and glfw3dll? Also have you included glad.h in your code? If so you should also include windows.h. Include the files in this order:

#include <windows.h>
#include <path_to_glad/glad.h>
#include <path_to_glfw/glfw3.h>

Then compile the code like this:

gcc/g++ main.c glad.c -lglfw3dll -lopengl32

It would also be better if you included your code along with your question
