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

I'm trying to compile this code:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <GL/glew.h> #include <GLFW/glfw3.h> GLFWwindow* window; #include <glm/glm.hpp> using namespace glm; int main( void ) { // Initialise GLFW if( !glfwInit() ) { fprintf( stderr, "Failed to initialize GLFW\n" ); return -1; } glfwWindowHint(GLFW_SAMPLES, 4); glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESIZABLE,GL_FALSE); glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3); glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3); glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE); // Open a window and create its OpenGL context window = glfwCreateWindow( 1024, 768, "Playground", NULL, NULL); if( window == NULL ){ fprintf( stderr, "Failed to open GLFW window. If you have an Intel GPU, they are not 3.3 compatible. Try the 2.1 version of the tutorials.\n" ); glfwTerminate(); return -1; } glfwMakeContextCurrent(window); // Initialize GLEW if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize GLEW\n"); return -1; } // Ensure we can capture the escape key being pressed below glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_STICKY_KEYS, GL_TRUE); // Dark blue background glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.4f, 0.0f); do{ // Draw nothing, see you in tutorial 2 ! // Swap buffers glfwSwapBuffers(window); glfwPollEvents(); } // Check if the ESC key was pressed or the window was closed while( glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_ESCAPE ) != GLFW_PRESS && glfwWindowShouldClose(window) == 0 ); // Close OpenGL window and terminate GLFW glfwTerminate(); return 0; }
It's a code from a tutorial I found about OpenGL, I program mostly in Java when it comes to OpenGL, but I wanted to try something new so I went to try in C++.
I'm using QtCreator for this project. At first I included GLEW and glfw3 libraries:
And the same for the glfw library file.
And then, when I try compiling the program I get this error:

I tired searching for an answer in forums and here, but I couldn't find anything that solved this problem. Anybody got any Ideas?
After adding
-lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lGL -lGLU -lXi
to the gcc compiler, I get a different error, which contains:
/usr/bin/ld: /home/sapir/Dropbox/Development/Computer/openGLTest/Test/../../../../../../../usr/local/lib//libglfw3.a(x11_window.c.o): undefined reference to symbol 'XConvertSelection'
