Hi, I've been working on something using Windows and now I'm attempting to build it on Linux with Dub, however I appear to be having an issue.

import base.application;

import derelict.opengl3.gl3;
import derelict.glfw3.glfw3;

int main(string[] args) {
	DerelictGL3.load();

	version (Windows) {
		DerelictGLFW3.load(".\\dll\\glfw3.dll");
	} else {
		DerelictGLFW3.load("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglfw.so");
	}
	return Application(args).run();
}

I've checked that the provided library object referenced exists, regardless every time I compile I get this same symbol loading error without fail:

derelict.util.exception.SymbolLoadException@../../.dub/packages/derelict-util-2.0.6/source/derelict/util/exception.d(35): Failed to load symbol glfwSetWindowIcon from shared library /u
sr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglfw.so.3.1

I was reading this GitHub issue, and they seemed to describe the issue as being version incompatibilities:
https://github.com/DerelictOrg/DerelictGLFW3/issues/9

However, I'm certain I'm using the correct GLWF version for my project.

It *is* a version problem. The exception is a SymbolLoadException, which means the loader found the library just fine (you can see it in the file name, libglfw.so.3.1). However, it attempted to load `glfwSetWindowIcon` and failed. If you check the GLFW 3 documentation [1] you'll find the following:

=====
Since
    Added in version 3.2.
=====

Then, going to the DerelictGLFW3 documentation [2], you can see that DerelictGLFW3 2.0.0 was the last version to support 3.1.

However, you can still use the latest version of the Derelict binding with GLFW 3.1 if you ignore the functions from 3.2. You can do this via the selective loading mechanism [3].

Of course, if you need any functions from 3.2, then you should update your local version of GLFW.

Thanks for clearing that up, it's been bugging me for a while.
