In “Error List” if you see error about file with extension . h go to previous Part, step 8, sub step 2. Include and follow instructions. file with extension . lib go to previous Part, step 8, sub step 3. Library, and follow instructions. Also to step 8 sub step 4.

Template has been created. Close thrown window with template’s path.

In Create a new project wizard in the list of templates select GLFWsrc-GLAD-0 (if necessary scroll down the list) > click Next.

Choose it only when you have specific reason for doing so. Compile GLFW source, and set up, together with GLAD, in project. Targets x64 too. The most difficult. The best though.
