A linker error

Hi all,

Using Visual Studio 2017 I created an Empty Project named opengl. Then tested the code in the page 40 of the book “OpenGL.Programming.Guide.9th.Edition”, Example1.1:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "vgl.h"
#include "LoadShaders.h"
 
enum VAO_IDs { Triangles, NumVAOs };
enum Buffer_IDs { ArrayBuffer, NumBuffers };
enum Attrib_IDs { vPosition = 0 };
GLuint VAOs[NumVAOs];
GLuint Buffers[NumBuffers];
const GLuint NumVertices = 6;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// init
//
void
init(void)
{
	static const GLfloat vertices[NumVertices][2] =
	{
		{ -0.90, -0.90 }, // Triangle 1
		{ 0.85, -0.90 },
		{ -0.90, 0.85 },
		{ 0.90, -0.85 }, // Triangle 2
		{ 0.90, 0.90 },
		{ -0.85, 0.90 }
	};
	glCreateBuffers(NumBuffers, Buffers);
	glNamedBufferStorage(Buffers[ArrayBuffer], sizeof(vertices),
		vertices, 0);
	ShaderInfo shaders[] = {
		{ GL_VERTEX_SHADER, "triangles.vert" },
		{ GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, "triangles.frag" },
		{ GL_NONE, NULL }
	};
	GLuint program = LoadShaders(shaders);
	glUseProgram(program);
	glGenVertexArrays(NumVAOs, VAOs);
	glBindVertexArray(VAOs[Triangles]);
	glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, Buffers[ArrayBuffer]);
	glVertexAttribPointer(vPosition, 2, GL_FLOAT,
		GL_FALSE, 0, BUFFER_OFFSET(0));
	glEnableVertexAttribArray(vPosition);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// display
//
void
display(void)
{
	static const float black[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };
	glClearBufferfv(GL_COLOR, 0, black);
	glBindVertexArray(VAOs[Triangles]);
	glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, NumVertices);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// main
//
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	glfwInit();
	GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Triangles", NULL,
		NULL);
	glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
	gl3wInit();
	init();
 
	while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
	{
		display();
		glfwSwapBuffers(window);
		glfwPollEvents();
	}
 
	glfwDestroyWindow(window);
	glfwTerminate();
}

When I compile it, it needs a lib file named: “glfw3_d.lib”
Where to find it please?

Do you read that book?
?Have your tested that code on your VS?

A quick google came up with this. No idea if it is what you need or not, but might be helpful:
