How do I statically link GLFW on Linux?

[causecause1]

It only works when installed through the distribution repository.

I tried changing the path value in vendor/glfw/bindings/bindings.odin on line 41 from system:glfw to the path of the .a library as on line 34, but I get this error:
/Odin/vendor/glfw/lib/darwin/libglfw3.a: file not recognized: file format not recognized

EDIT: I also built GLFW myself and put it into a new "linux" directory I created in vendor/glfw/lib. It seems to link correctly, but I got a window creation error:
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
Could not create window (this is printed by me)

EDIT 2: I created an issue for this.

Regarding the not-working part of EDIT 1, it seems to have been an Nvidia + Wayland issue, it works on X11.
