Setup Modern OpenGL with GLFW, GLEW and GLM in Codeblocks

Modern OpenGL 3 and above version may be difficult especially for beginner because of  new shaders and buffer object concepts. OpenGL 1.x is simple to understand and to setup the project also which you can find in my previous articles here. By setting the GLUT or just by including gl.h and glu.h we can acess the OpenGL function because all the API function are determined in compiled time but in modern OpenGL concept is different that all the API function are determined in run time not in compiled time. 
Introduction to GLFW,GLEW and GLM
Lets discusses about all this open source library why they are necessary.
GLEW (OpenGL Extension Wrangler ) will handle the run time loading of the OpenGL API. This will give access to the OpenGL 3.2 and above API functions. It is important because accessing OpenGL functions isn't as simple as #include <GL/gl.h> unless we want to use an ancient version of OpenGL. In modern OpenGL , the API functions are determined at run time,not compile time.

GLFW (OpenGL Frame Work) is used to create a window, and receive mouse and keyboard input in a cross-platform way. We can use freeglut as a alternative of GLFW . GLFW is especially design for game. OpenGL does not handle window creation or input, so this must be done with the help of GLFW or other alternatives. 

GLM(OpenGL Mathematics) is a mathematics libray that handles vectors and metrices. Older versions of OpenGL provided functions like glRotate, glTranslate and glScale which would do some of the mathematics but in modern OpenGL previously mentioned functions do not exist and we have to do by ourselves. GLM will help us to do math.

Setup instruction for GLFW,GLEW and GLM 

Step 1st : Download and Extract all these library 

                GLEW from here 

                GLFW from here

                GLM from here

Step 2nd : Copy header files,library files and dll files to following directories.

A. Copy Header Files

                 Copy glfw3.h, form GLFW library include folder, and glew.h,glxew.h,wglew.h from GLEW library include folder to the directory C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\GL

Since GLM is header only library copy the whole glm folder to the directory C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include

B. Copy Library Files
                Copy libglfw3.a and glfw3dll.a form GLFW library lib-mingw folder and glew32, glew32s, glew32mx, glew32mxs from GLEW library lib folder to the directory C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib

C. Copy DILL Files

                Copy glfw3.dll form GLFW library lib-mingw folder, and glew32.dll ,glew32mx.dll from GLEW library bin folder to the directory C:\Windows\System32

Step 3rd: Change CodeBlocks linker setting
Open the Codeblocks IDE.
go to menu ->Settings->Compiler options
From there click the Linker setting tab.
From Link libraries box. Click add button and add libraries glew32.lib, glew32s.lib,libglfw3.a and libopengl32.a
All the linker must be link from the directory C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib
Note: make sure that glew32s.lib must be top of the list.
Press ok . Now your library is completely setup. You can write modern OpenGL program by creating new empty cpp file. Check weather all libraries are setup successfully or not run the source code from here(simple modern OpenGL program)
