I am trying to compile a simple tutorial program utilising glfw with minimal opengl. My issue appears to be that the glfw library is stubbornly refusing to be dynamically linked. The relevant make command is:
"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\mingw64\bin\g++" -Wall -m64 -D GLFW_DLL -l opengl32 -l glfw3 main.o -o triangle <br />
The main.o file is compiled from a c++ file, main.cpp by:
"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\mingw64\bin\g++" -c -Wall -m64 -D GLFW_DLL main.cpp -o main.o
Every reference to the glfw functions made inside the code is causing an undefined reference to the relevant implementation functions (eg. __imp_glfwInit for glfwInit => undefined reference to '__imp_glfwInit')
Build system is mingw-w64 [windows] using make via the command line, with glfw 3.0.4. The glfw lib is 64 bit and the latest stable build avaliable. It consists of the files:
- glfw3.dll
- glfw3dll.a
- libglfw3.a
Which are the 'WIN-64' 'lib-mingw'
After extensive searches (GLFW help pages useless[deal either with 2.7.2 which doesn't apply or doesn't have useful information in the case of 3.0.4], most of stackoverflow deals with static linking, ect) I have been unable to find a solution which works.
Is there something I am missing dealing with the linker that is not making me able to dynamically link?
Clarification on any errors I am making or a solution of some form that would still allow me to use the dynamic libraries would be greatly appreciated
