C language link GLFW Why unsuccessful?

Question

I am trying to compile with code::blocks IDE using glfw(OPENGEL) but it is not successful.

After reading the source code, I guess the problem is libgdi32.a.

Is there be other solutions?

I've crawled through other sites, but I do not get answers.

So you guess the problem is because of some library? Have you tried to link with that library? — Some programmer dude, Jan 20 '17 at 10:55
@VenuKantSahu It's a library. You can click on the `glfw` tag for some info or just google it. — HolyBlackCat, Jan 20 '17 at 10:58
It looks like you linked your libraries incorrectly. Remove them from the project and instead add them to the `project build options`->`linker settings`. For example, for `libgdi32.a` you should add just `gdi32`, etc. — HolyBlackCat, Jan 20 '17 at 11:11
It looks to me like you should list the GDI library after the GLFW library on the linker command line. — Jonathan Leffler, Jan 20 '17 at 11:45
Thank you for your help I finally use the dynamic link to the way to give up the static link But the dynamic link even larger than the static? Perhaps I have too little experience — leafYet, Jan 20 '17 at 14:08
By the way, when you reply to someone (not under his own post), put @ followed by his hame in the beginning. Otherwise he won't get a notification. — HolyBlackCat, Jan 20 '17 at 17:09

These are linker errors, not compiler errors. Your code has compiled successfully but it contains calls to the Win32 GDI functions CreateDIBSection, CreateBitmap etc. The linker can't create the final executable (or library) because it doesn't have the library containing those functions.

You need to check your linker's documentation and find out how to tell it where the libgdi32.a file is (assuming that you have that file in the first place).

I know it is a link error that may be my habitual mistake. – leafYet Jan 20 '17 at 11:02
Has been set up inside the file will be put into the link but the problem did not solve ... do not know how to do – leafYet Jan 20 '17 at 11:03
