Step 2 Create the project folder

Creating the project folder

Create your project folder, such as proj01

Setting up subdirectories in your project folder

include : for C++ header files

external : for external libraries

src: source files

cmake: for cmake helper files

Copy external libraries files

GLFW

renaming the root project folder glfw-3.4.bin.WIN64 which contains README.md to glfw

copy the glfw folder to the external folder

copy glfw/include/GLFW to proj01/include

copy your Findglfw3.cmake downloaded from Blackboard to cmake folder.

GLAD

copy glad/src/glad.c to src

copy glad/include/glad and glad/include/KHR to proj01/include

Open the project folder in VSCode or Visual Studio

Create main.cpp under src, simply put a placeholder main function.
