[SOLVED] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw

I'm new to cocos2d-x platform and tried to run the tests on Linux(Ubuntu 13.04) environment. I have followed the steps from git-cocos2d-x and got the following error while executing cocos run -p linux command.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Can anybody tell me how to fix this error ?

Any help would be appreciable.

After installation I got the following errors

Solution

Do you have libglfw installed on system? Since version 3 of that library the link flag is -lglfw3
