I'm new to cocos2d-x platform and tried to run the tests on Linux(Ubuntu 13.04) environment. I have followed the steps from git-cocos2d-x and got the following error while executing cocos run -p linux command.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Can anybody tell me how to fix this error ?

Any help would be appreciable.

After installation I got the following errors

Do you have libglfw installed on system? Since version 3 of that library the link flag is -lglfw3

I had a similar issue when I tried to build a Cocos2d-x project on OpenSuSE. Go to the root directory of your Cocos2d-x project and from there change to the 'cocos2d/cocos' directory. Open up the CMakeLists.txt file and look for the list of PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_LIBS for Linux. You should see a section that looks similar to this:

if(LINUX)
set(PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_LIBS
    pthread
    fontconfig
    GLEW
    X11
    rt
    glfw3
    Xi
    Xrandr
    Xxf86vm
    GL
    ${FMOD_LIB}
    )

In my file I had to change 'glfw' to 'glfw3' and add dependencies on Xi, Xrandr, and Xxf86vm to get the program to build.
