Static libraries are merged by the linker - you'll need to create object files compatible with the libraries and linker. Also, you'll need to convert the API constants into a compatible form for the assembler.

i.e.

Code:

#define GLFW_HAT_RIGHT_UP           (GLFW_HAT_RIGHT | GLFW_HAT_UP)

... to ...

Code:

GLFW_HAT_RIGHT_UP = GLFW_HAT_RIGHT or GLFW_HAT_UP
