v3.2/glfw: build fails on Raspberry Pi OS

[mlnoga]

Trying to build an example project on Raspberry Pi OS, go build -v fails with the following:

github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2/glfw
# github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2/glfw
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

However, the libraries are in fact installed:

Please advise

As a first step, try v3.3, since v3.2 is an old version of GLFW and not really supported.

If it still doesn't work, that likely means support for Raspberry Pi has not been added.

I haven't used my Pi for a while but I know that I have been able to use v3.3 on my RPi4 without issues, in the past.

[ilylily]

v3.2 built fine on a pi 4 for me after a go mod init github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2/glfw && go mod tidy in the v3.2/glfw directory, using go 1.17.2 from https://golang.org/dl/.
@mlnoga can you post the output of go build -vx for more info on what your linker is doing?

[Jacalz]

I know that we have specific install instructions for Raspberry Pi when using Fyne, see the Raspberry Pi tab on https://developer.fyne.io/started/. Do you have all of those installed?
