Failed units:

I am afraid I have to point out (again) that this forum should be used for specific requests about Garuda and its tools.
We cannot handle generic requests about Linux.
If it can be of any help, a glfw package is available in Arch repo, so you don’t need to compile anything.
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/glfw/
Or if you are compiling with glfw, have you searched the internet?
As per new topic template, you should provide as much information as possible, otherwise it is unlikely that someone will try to help.

I asked because it may be garuda related. glfw never does that normally when in a project. Especially considering it came with garuda.

Just a shot in the dark…
Is this a 32bit application?
If so, maybe this might help (although flagged out of date)?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-glfw-wayland

It’s 64 bit, but i’ll try that. How do I use aur to install it?

Download Snapshot .tar.gz from AUR page link
Extract the PKGBUILD
Run ‘makepkg -si’ in terminal in the extracted directory
