Setup Derelict3 with GLFW

Question

I'm trying to use OpenGL and GLFW with Derelict3 for the D language, but I have some problems with the glfw3.dll and I'm not sure about what I did wrong:

• I downloaded Derelict3 from https://github.com/aldacron/Derelict3 and run the build.d and linked the *.lib (DMD compiler) with my project.
• As Derelict3 seems to need the glfw3.dll I cloned the Git repository git://glfw.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/glfw/glfw.
• I created a folder build and called cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. from within and got a glfw.dll, glfwdll.lib and libglfw.a.
• Then I copied the glfw.dll into my project directory and renamed it to glfw3.dll.

But when I run my program I get the error:

derelict.util.exception.SymbolLoadException@..\import\derelict\util\exception.d(38): Failed to load symbol glfwSetErrorCallback from shared library glfw3.dll

Does anybody know how to setup the Derelict3?

Answer 1

You're using the wrong Repo, glfw3 moved to github: https://github.com/elmindreda/glfw.

The error you see is caused, by the old version of glfw, in this old version is no symbol called glfwSetErrorCallback.
