unresolved external symbol __libm_sse2_pow_precise referenced in function _glfwSetGamma

I switched to glfw 3.0.3, and am now getting this link error in both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012:

glfw3.lib(gamma.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __libm_sse2_pow_precise referenced in function _glfwSetGamma

GLFW 3.0.3 builds successfully on MSVC 2010 for me.

Both VS 2012 and VS 2013 working fine on my end, both 32 and 64 bit.

I got this error after upgrading to GLFW 3.0.4. I was trying to link against the pre-built 32-bit VS2012 static library using VS 2010. The binary archives don't seem to include VS 2010 libraries; just 2012 and 2013. was the omission intentional? If so, the versions listed on http://www.glfw.org/download.html should be updated accordingly.

I just ended up building GLFW from source instead, but wanted to leave a note in case anybody else hits this.

@cdwfs It was intentional. Call it encouragement for the spread of C++11. The site has been updated. Thank you, and for the clue.

GLFW modernization on the way?

GLFW modernization on the way?

But GLFW is C not C++, and MSVC still barely even supports C99.

But GLFW is C not C++, and MSVC still barely even supports C99.

I was curious if there is plans to convert GLFW code base to C++11, while providing a C style API for use.

[elmindreda]

No, GLFW will not use C++.

Getting same error trying to upgrade from glfw2 to glfw3.0.3 windows binary version. It's frustrating that there's just 1 link error.

I will add back Visual C++ 2010 binaries for 3.1 and rename the directories to reflect the marketing names of Visual C++.
