How to link glew library in Code::Blocks on ubuntu?

Question

I can't link glew with Code::Blocks. I can't compile with even easy code. Many errors likeundefined reference to 'glewInit'.

I have glew library is located in /usr/include/GL/glew.h.

From here, i guess i ought to link as follows: -L/usr/local/lib -lglfw3 -pthread -lGLEW -lGLU -lGL -lrt -lXrandr -lXxf86vm -lXi -lXinerama -lX11, but i don't know how to do this in Code::Blocks.

Code:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
#include <GLM/glm.hpp>
#else
#include "GL/glew.h"
#include "GL/glut.h"
#endif

#include <glm/vec3.hpp> // glm::vec3
#include <glm/vec4.hpp> // glm::vec4
#include <glm/mat4x4.hpp> // glm::mat4
#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp> // glm::translate,    glm::rotate, glm::scale, glm::perspective
#include <math.h>

Here is a screenshot of currently linked library:

Did you try to adding those flags to the "other linker options" text box? — Yakov Galka, Jan 02 '17 at 13:04

You need to specify the linker search path. Below is a picture done on windows platform, but I believe you will be able to adjust easily to your needs:

Now, just include your library, as usual:

and add GLEW to this list (removing, of course, what you dont need)

Thank you! specify the linker search path works for me, besides, add these library to "other linker options" also works. – ytutow Jan 02 '17 at 15:07
