GLFW Error LNK2019

Question

I have a problem i'm using GLFW with VS 2013 Community Edition And I get this error:

1>------ Build started: Project: [F]Mod, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

So I tried using the 32-bit Binaries instead no change :(

Edit: Yes, My problem is very similar to this question, the answer that Chris Dargis suggested (Add opengl32.lib) did not work, although it did produce a different set of errors:

now it says the unresolved external is in my WindowFunctions.obj i'm not too sure whats going on :-( I'm new to glfw and I've never really used vs that much.

BTW: My Code Is:

Main.cpp

#include "glfw3.h"
#include "WindowFunctions.h"

int main() {

    WindowCreate();
    WindowUpdate();
    WindowEnd();

    return 0;

}

WindowFunctions.cpp

#include "WindowFunctions.h"
#include "glfw3.h"
#include <iostream>

GLFWwindow* Window;

// Setup Voids
void WindowCreate() {

    // Setup Window
    Window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "[F]Mod", NULL, NULL);

    // If GLFW Fails
    if (!Window) {
        glfwTerminate();
        std::cout << "Error 01: GLFW Failed To Start Window" << std::endl;
    }

    glfwMakeContextCurrent(Window);

}

void WindowUpdate() {

    while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(Window))
    {

        // Constant Operations
        glfwSwapBuffers(Window);
        glfwPollEvents();

    }

}


void WindowEnd() {

    glfwTerminate();

}

WindowFunctions.h

//Window Functions
void WindowCreate();
void WindowUpdate();
void WindowEnd();

This may help as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13889255/glfw-linking-issue-visual-studio-2012 When you have issues like this it's because you're missing one or more libraries. If you add one and it changes the errors then you're missing another one. You can usually tell by the name what is missing, or you can search for part of the error message like "unresolved external symbol _glfwTerminate". — Retired Ninja, Apr 21 '15 at 00:09
