使用 g++ 链接 glfw 的问题

Question

so i'm trying to compile this glfw code:

#include <iostream>
#include <glad/glad.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

int main()
{
    glfwInit();
    return 0;
}

i have a batch script that looks like this:

g++ -Wall -O2 -ID:\programowanie\C++\openGL\Libraries\include -c src/*.cpp
g++ -LD:\programowanie\C++\openGL\Libraries\lib -o bin\main.exe *.o -lglfw3

but it returns:

i downloaded glfw with: windows pre-commpiled binaries with mingw

Answer 1

I think its too late but still here's the solution:

just replace -lglfw3 at the end with -lglfw3dll and add the glfw3.dll file to your output folder which is the "bin" folder this should do

I'm not really sure why replacing this fixes the issue cause i dont really know about glfw but just experimented with it one
