  • Need help getting started with GLFW on Linux and VS Code
    I'm on Arch linux, so I runned sudo pacman -S glfw-x11 to get GLFW. I started vscode and copied the boiler plate code from glfw.org and then I tried to run it but I got a bunch of linking/definition (?) errors. Source: about 3 years ago
