I'm trying to compile my c++ test application with GLFW and vulkan using clang on windows, but it fails every time. I get a lot of link errors and any of suggested solutions I could find didn't work. It seems the problem is with the GLFW library files, but I can't find a way to solve it.
Batch script I use for compiling my code:
REM Build script for the test application.
@ECHO OFF
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
REM Get a list of all the .cpp files.
SET cFilenames=
FOR /R %%f in (*.cpp) do (

Already tried to reinstall clang, MSVCRT and GLFW. I had some clear answers, when I asked the OpenAI chatbot, but it didn't solve my problem either. Any ideas how can I solve this problem?
EDIT
I managed to solve almost all of the errors, but I still get the GLFW unresolved external symbol error.
