Why is the GLFW static library not compiling?

Question

IT education

I'm trying to build the GLFW library under MinGW, doing this:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
mingw32-make.exe
The compiler works, but I don't see the result of its work, namely glfw3.lib. If you set the DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON flag, then the glfw3.dll file will appear, that is, it creates a dynamic library normally. Perhaps the question is very stupid, but because of such congestion, instead of studying the library, I lose a lot of time trying to get the library to build.

Answer 1

It turned out that static libraries for MinGW look not like name .lib, but lib name .a. However, I ran into another problem, as it turned out, when connecting a static library, you also need to connect a lot of headers, the function calls of which are in this library, apparently when compiling with a dynamic library, the compiler does not check their presence, but checks with a static one.

What's stopping you from downloading binaries?
