Why glfw needs sfml

[smithon]

In Windows, I have realized that my glfw-glew projects doesn't work without sfml. I use mingw. In other words, when I remove my c:\sfmlxxx directory, I get this: cannot find -sfml-system! I am confused, since I haven't at all used any aspect of sfml in my project!

Why are you asking this here? This has nothing to do with codeblocks and will likely get locked or removed.

[smithon]

The reason I am posting it here is that it is related to the project that I have created using codeblocks. Codeblocks has wizard to create opengl with glfw and in Windows, it works with mingw. Why this is not a right place?

If you really have no sfml related settings in the project, there must be some gobal compiler settings remaining.
Look into the settings for MinGW in "Settings -> Compiler", if there is anything related to it.

Thanks Jens, it was the case. I cleaned up global settings and build log now shows a clean compile.
