Original Question:

I am trying to install GLFW from source on Linux.

I have downloaded and extracted the files from www.glfw.org, and according to the documentation on the Code::Blocks website, all I have to do is enter the directory and type 'make'. I installed cmake and the other dependencies specified inside the readme file.

Typing 'make' gives me the error: No targets specified and no makefile found.

I have an approximate idea as to how cmake works, but probably don't understand it fully. I read the target should be 'x11' or 'x11-install', do I tried 'make x11' and 'make x11-install'.

I also tried a few other things which I had as wild guesses as to what might work. (For example 'make x86_64' but the chances of that working... laughable perhaps.)

So yeah, how do I use cmake to install glfw, on Linux, KUbuntu 13.04... 64 bit...
