I installed GLWF succesfully. I can prove that since this program compiles:
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
int main(void)
{
GLFWwindow* window;
/* Initialize the library */
if (!glfwInit())
return -1;
/* Create a windowed mode window and its OpenGL context */
window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);
if (!window)
{
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
/* Make the window's context current */
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
/* Loop until the user closes the window */
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
/* Render here */
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
/* Swap front and back buffers */
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
/* Poll for and process events */
glfwPollEvents();
}
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
Then i used these commands in order to install glad:
git clone https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad.git
cd glad
cmake ./
make
sudo cp -a include /usr/local/
When i tried to execute this program:

I compiled the program with this command:
g++ triangle.c -o triangle -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lGLEW -lglfw -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor
EDIT: I used these two resources to perform the installation of the libraries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwaHQ6c-ma0
https://shnoh171.github.io/gpu%20and%20gpu%20programming/2019/08/26/installing-glfw-on-ubuntu.html
EDIT 2: Because resources come and go, i will list the steps here:
GLEW/GLFW setup:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install xorg-dev
download glfw source package https://www.glfw.org/download.html
unpack it in Desktop
go to unpacked directory
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev libglew1.5 libglew1.5-dev libglu1-mesa libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev libglfw3-dev libglfw3
make your own code and name it with extension .c
and then
gcc "source filename".c -o "filename" -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lGLEW -lglfw -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor
also works with c++:
g++ "source filename".cpp -o "filename" -std=c++11 -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lGLEW -lglfw -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor
And to install GLFW:
sudo apt-get install libglfw3
sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev
Addition: GLAD can be installed with the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad.git
cd glad
cmake ./
make
sudo cp -a include /usr/local/
Glad consists of multiple files:
Judging from your error message, you forgot to also compile the glad.c source file. You can adapt your command line to something like:
g++ triangle.c <GLADPATH>/glad.c -o triangle -Wall -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lGLEW -lglfw -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldl -lXinerama -lXcursor
Replace <GLADPATH> with the path to the glad directory
