I have an issue linking my OpenGL project using Cmake.
To use OpenGL extensions, I downloaded the prebuilt GLEW library binaries. But after building my project, I`ve got a bunch of warnings:
skipping incompatible C:/Users/.../lib when searching for -lglew32"
For all of the 4 binaries, I've tried to link (glew32.a, glew32.dll.a, glew32mx.dll.a, glew32mx.a). As a result, the required library is not found, and the linkage fails.
My CmakeList:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)

)
add_dependencies(Graphics glew32mxdll)
add_dependencies(Graphics glew32dll)
add_dependencies(Graphics freeglutdll)
add_dependencies(Graphics glfw3dll)
The code I'm trying to compile is pretty simple:
#include "OpenGL/include/GL/freeglut.h"
#include "OpenGL/include/GLEW/glew.h"
#include "OpenGL/include/GLFW/glfw3.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
if (!glfwInit())
{
std::cerr << "Error while initializing glfw" << std::endl;
return -1;
}
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESIZABLE, GL_FALSE);
GLFWwindow *window = glfwCreateWindow(1280, 720, "Voxel", nullptr, nullptr);
if (window == nullptr)
{
std::cerr << "Error creating window" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
glewExperimental = true;
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK)
{
std::cerr << "Error while initializing glew" << std::endl;
return -1;
}
return 0;
}

What may I be doing wrong and how can I fix it?
Well, I solved this problem pretty simple - just used pre build .lib file and defined GLEW_STATIC at the beginning
