Linking of GLFW+OpenGL3 example fails on Arch Linux

[dario-loi]

The error

Trying to build the example in imgui/examples/example_glfw_opengl3 by executing the makefile succeeds, however, when running, I get the following error:

  ./example_glfw_opengl3: symbol lookup error: ./example_glfw_opengl3: undefined symbol: glfwGetError

This was first happening with an application I was trying to compile, I checked the examples and the same error is reproduced here.

Now, I know that arch is unstable, in fact it might be that this is a problem of my environment, just in case, I am reporting this here.

IMGUI

I am currently cloning the master branch of the repository directly and then running make, so it's not pinned to a specific version.

UPDATE: by manually commenting the glfwGetError functions in imgui/backends/imgui_impl_glfw.cpp (line 471 and 724) I can get the program to compile.

Does this mean that glfwGetError is currently unsupported on my platform despite the version being >= 3.3? Did I just run into a GLFW bug? Should I open an issue on their side?
