GLEW and glfw compile error: undefined reference to symbol 'XConvertSelection'

Question

I\'m trying to compile this code:

#include 
#include 

#include 

#include 
GLFWwindow* w         


        

Answer 1

Ok, after some research I found that the DSO error which I got means that the order of the includes I've implemented is incorrect and cause the compilation to fail.

So what I did is I used the command:

pkg-config --static --libs x11 xrandr xi xxf86vm glew glfw3

To get the packages I need for them to run and in the right order.

Then I compiled the project accordingly. That's it :)

Answer 2

I got same error "undefined reference to symbol 'XConvertSelection'" while compiling example from Irrlicht 3D, solved by adding "-lX11".

Then I got error "undefined reference to symbol 'XF86VidModeGetGamma'", solved by adding "-lXxf86vm"
