Problem about linking GLFW (MacOS)

[Wotipati]

I got errors in installing openMVS library on macOS. I am on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3.

It seems to be an error on GLFW's link. Since there is the same issue (https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS/issues/202), I tried to reinstall by referring the issue.

In my environment, glfw is linked.

$ brew link glfw
Warning: Already linked: /usr/local/Cellar/glfw/3.2.1
To relink: brew unlink glfw && brew link glfw

But, I couldn't solve the problem. Here is the log.

4 warnings generated.

Do you have any solutions?

add this line: target_link_libraries(${VIEWER_NAME} "-lglfw -framework Cocoa -framework OpenGL -framework IOKit -framework CoreVideo") after line 56 in openMVS/apps/Viewers/CMakeLists.txt. and it worked

reinstalling glfw didn't work for me
