## Introduction
|
|
|
|
GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan
|
|
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
|
|
creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
|
|
|
|
GLFW is licensed under the [zlib/libpng
|
|
license](https://opensource.org/licenses/Zlib).
|
|
|
|
The latest stable release is version 3.2.1.
|
|
|
|
See the [downloads](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) page for details and
|
|
files, or fetch the `latest` branch, which always points to the latest stable
|
|
release. Each release starting with 3.0 also has a corresponding [annotated
|
|
tag](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases) with source and binary archives.
|
|
|
|
This is a development branch for version 3.3, which is _not yet described_.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to GLFW, you may find the
|
|
[tutorial](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/quick.html) for GLFW
|
|
3 useful. If you have used GLFW 2 in the past, there is a
|
|
[transition guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/moving.html) for moving to
|
|
the GLFW 3 API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compiling GLFW
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself requires only the headers and libraries for your window system. It
|
|
does not need the headers for any context creation API (WGL, GLX, EGL, NSGL) or
|
|
rendering API (OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan) to enable support for them.
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports compilation on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 and later, MinGW and
|
|
MinGW-w64, on macOS with Clang and on Linux and other Unix-like systems with GCC
|
|
and Clang. It will likely compile in other environments as well, but this is
|
|
not regularly tested.
|
|
|
|
There are also [pre-compiled Windows
|
|
binaries](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) available for all compilers
|
|
supported on that platform.
|
|
|
|
See the [compilation guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) in the
|
|
documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [building application guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html)
|
|
guide in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports Windows XP and later, OS X 10.7 Lion and later, and Linux and
|
|
other Unix-like systems with the X Window System. Experimental implementations
|
|
for the Wayland protocol and the Mir display server are available but not yet
|
|
officially supported.
|
|
|
|
See the [compatibility guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compat.html)
|
|
in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself depends only on the headers and libraries for your window system.
|
|
|
|
The examples and test programs depend on a number of tiny libraries. These are
|
|
located in the `deps/` directory.
|
|
|
|
- [getopt\_port](https://github.com/kimgr/getopt_port/) for examples
|
|
with command-line options
|
|
- [TinyCThread](https://github.com/tinycthread/tinycthread) for threaded
|
|
examples
|
|
- An OpenGL 3.2 core loader generated by
|
|
[glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) for examples using modern OpenGL
|
|
- [linmath.h](https://github.com/datenwolf/linmath.h) for linear algebra in
|
|
examples
|
|
- [Nuklear](https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) for test and example UI
|
|
- [Vulkan headers](https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/) for Vulkan tests
|
|
|
|
The Vulkan example additionally requires the Vulkan SDK to be installed, or it
|
|
will not be included in the build.
|
|
|
|
The documentation is generated with [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org/). If CMake
|
|
does not find Doxygen, the documentation will not be generated when you build.
|
|
|
|
