尝试在 Linux 上运行 OpenGL SuperBible 示例代码时出现“未定义的对 'glfwOpenWindowHint' 的引用”错误

Question

I'm trying to sun OpenGL SuperBible 6th edition example code for the first time on my Manjaro (arch) system. I followed the HOWTOBUILD.txt, installed mesa and glfw (glfw-wayland, not sure if there is a difference) via pacman. Tried to run the first time unsuccessfuly, then changed an error in the CMakeList.txt as described in here https://stackoverflow.com/a/24474361/9197461 it got rid of the undefined reference to 'glfwInit' error, but all other undefined errors stayed. Can anyone help me compile this without errors?

code example: https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code

full error when I try to run make :

Answer 1

I downloaded the source code and tried the steps you've done and not surpringsingly, received the same error message.

And it seems that the source code uses GLFW2 instead of GLFW3.

glfwOpenWindowHint is renamed to glfwWindowHint in GLFW3

See: glfwOpenWindowHint not declared in this scope GLFW3 & GLEW

You could try installing GLFW2 and run it again. Since GLFW2 is available in Ubuntu Xenial, remember to configure sources.list accordingly.

For OpenGL SuperBible 6th

EDIT : I could not manage to install libglfw2 from Ubuntu Xenial repository. And manually installed dpkg from official website.

1. download .deb file from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libglfw-dev

2. go to the folder .deb is installed in and run sudo dpkg -i [name of libglfw2].deb

3. Run find. -name "libglfw*" find. -name "libglfw*" in /usr/lib to find the path to the library. (there can be multiple libglfw.so as you already downloaded GLFW3 so be careful)

4. Create a symbolic link for the dynamic library just installed by running the following command:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/[path to file]/[filename] /usr/lib/[path to file]/libglfw2.so

5. Edit sb6code/CMakeFiles/tunnel.dir/link.txt as follows

   -lglfw to -lglfw2

6. Run make

For OpenGL SuperBible 7th

If you have already installed libglfw3 but could not manage to run cmake.. , this could be because your libglfw3.so is stored as libglfw.so .

In that case, you can create a symbolic link to it:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/[path to file]/[libglfw name].so /usr/lib/[path to file]/libglfw3.so

Save and run cmake.. again inside build .

If it fails because of linker, make sure you have all the dependencies:

libglfw3-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxcursor-dev
