unable to Install node-glfw: No package 'glfw3' found about node-glfw HOT 7 CLOSED

I think that this must be related to the error I have below

VulkanBaseApp.cpp:31:10: fatal error: GLFW/glfw3.h: No such file or directory
   31 | #include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:446: VulkanBaseApp.o] Error 255 

I solved it by doing

sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libxcb1-dev libglfw3 libglfw3-dev

I took inspiration from this file for this. I hope it helps someone else.

from node-glfw.

Did u check if pkg-config --cflags glfw works correctly?

I have already set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glfw3.pc

Following is the error:

Package glfw3 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing glfw3.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I'm getting same error ...

sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

so I do have

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/glfw3.pc

pkg-config --cflags glfw

fails yet glfw3 is found

pkg-config --cflags glfw3
-I/usr/include/libdrm

and

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

from node-glfw.

hummm once I find some time, I’ll check the project. It’s possible new versions of glfw screwed up the link (not the first time).

PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be like this:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

and NOT
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glfw3.pc

After this,
npm install node-glfw
is working for me.
pkg-config --cflags glfw still fails.

Thanks all for the help.

I see. Thanks!

a note for all -- if you are installing in a non-standard directory, then node-glfw will pick up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH settings nicely, but the path to header files (pkg-config --cflags) is not picked up, as there is no macro for that in the binding.gyp file. not quite sure of best solution yet, just fyi
