Hi,
I am new in TheIDE, earlier i was using CodeBlocks but it is too bugy.
TheIDE is not intuitive, so i need a few answers.
I'm trying include directories to GLFW 3.3.2 library, and GLEW 2.1.0(i know it is inside TheIDE)
Setup -> Build methods -> INCLUDE directories(.h, .hpp) and -> LIB directories(.lib, .a)
I added in Package organizer link options: -lglfw3 -lgdi32 -lglew32s -lglu32 -lopengl32
but TheIDE can't see files.

Useful for you at this point is Setup/Verbose. If active, it will list complete commandlines while compiling, so that you will know what is going on.

Then it is probably better to add libraries directly as libraries instead of linker options. Load some U++ example, open package organizer and check e.g. the Core package. See how system libs are added...

Also: Check that you have added build method directories to the correct build method (the one you are using to compile).
