No file type_mat.hpp in glm/detail

On Linux I use those includes

#include <glm/detail/type_mat.hpp>
#include <glm/detail/type_vec.hpp>

I noticed that thes files only exist in the /usr/include/glm source folder and not in the sources provided with my code. There are some type_mat*x*.hpp for each matrix dimension but not the basic one. Then I tried running this on windows 10 VisualStudio and it can't find those files. I checked a recent version of glm and there are not present again.

So my questions are :
Why are those files only in my package installed version of glm on linux ? Are they automately generated ?
What is the right solution for windows ? Including #include <glm/glm.hpp> everywhere seems to work but I think its not so clean.

For anyone curious about this, here is my investigation:

Start from version glm-0.9.5, we can clear saw type_mat.hpp

enter image description here

The later on version, I can not found such file anylonger:

So, answer the first question, this file doesn't autogenerated.

You can also verify this from glm github releases.

Solution:

My solution is stay with glm-0.9.5. However, it was old.

If we using more decent version, We might comment #include that file out.

Acutually you don't need to include type_mat.hpp anylonger in newer glm, it can just be built, just include glm/glm.hpp and trasnformation.
