Hi Gonzalo,

thanks for the report, for your workaround, and the follow-up with the
hint to `find_package(GLEW)`. I looked into it (FindGLEW.cmake) and it
offers CMake targets for both the static lib and the DLL, depending on a
CMake variable and presence of the lib files.

[top-posting intentionally]

Please open a GitHub Issue for this report so it doesn't get lost. I'm
aware that there's another pending issue from you but you're currently
finding issues faster than I can fix them, particularly since I'm
working on other tasks as well.

TIA, Albrecht

PS: I noticed that your workaround would prefer the static GLEW lib
(glew32s.lib) rather than the DLL (glew32.lib), if it was applied this
way. The correct (or better, more variable) dealing with this situation
needs some investigation, see my note above.

I have glew2.2.0 win64 downloaded from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/2.2.0/glew-2.2.0-win32.zip/download


I unzipped it and the location of the x64 builds is in:

D:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0/bin/Release/x64
D:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0/lib/Release/x64

I moved the .lib and .dlls to the main directories (standard MSVC dirs):

cd D:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0/bin/Release/x64
mv *.dll ../..

cd D:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0/lib/Release/x64
mv *.lib ../..

I had to call cmake with all this (this needs work in the CMakeLists
files):

cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0 -DFLTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-ID:/code/lib/glew-2.2.0/include

CMake does find glew32.
CMake compiles properly.

CMake does not link properly with the glew32.lib (DLL), getting errors
like (maybe I am missing a preprocessor definition of the OpenGL3test
is missing #include "windows.h"?

I modified FLTK's CMake files:

diff --git a/CMake/resources.cmake b/CMake/resources.cmake

And with the static lib it linked properly.
