What might be that matter with this code?

I'm following a little tutorial, and I keep getting this error: http://imgur.com/a/ree1M I feel like I followed everything pretty good so far, but I'm not sure. I'm using Eclipse IDE in case anyone needs to know. Thanks, G

The function is returning a boolean but the constant you're comparing it to is in int. Perhaps a better way to to handle it returning false is:

if (!glfwInit()) {
  // ... handle the initialization failing here
}

Thanks a ton Seth! And I don't need that italicized GL_TRUE that's in blue anymore?

No, not in that if statement. It looks like a constant defined by the library that could be used elsewhere, but not right here.

Please, check the variable name. There seems to be an issue with the Camel Casing. It is not necessary but it may be different from the declaration.
