Installing GLFW 3.0 not working Visual Studio

Question

I'm trying to create a GLFW project, but I'm getting LNK2019 errors with the basic setup.

1. I've downloaded the latest binary (glfw-3.0.bin.WIN32.zip) to a folder.
2. I've created a new, empty console project.

3. Within VC++ Directories, I've added the following line to include directories:

   C:\C++Libraries\glfw-3.0.bin.WIN32\include

4. I've added the following line to the Library Directories:

   C:\C++Libraries\glfw-3.0.bin.WIN32\lib-msvc110

5. I've linked the following libraries:

opengl32.lib, glfw3.lib, glfw3dll.lib

1. From the latest tutorial, I paste into my project (no visible syntax errors) to test, but I get four LNK2019 errors after trying to run it.

   Here are the errors:

   Error   2   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__joyGetPosEx@8

Answer 1

You need to link in at least winmm.lib for timeGetTime. The joystick code is probably in there to.
