# GLFW
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
GLFW is a free, Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL and OpenGL ES
|
|
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
|
|
creating windows and contexts, reading input, handling events, etc.
|
|
|
|
Version 3.1 is *not yet described*.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to GLFW, you may find the
|
|
[introductory 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.
|
|
|
|
Note that a number of source files have been added or renamed in 3.1, which may
|
|
require you to update any custom build files you have.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compiling GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [Compiling GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) guide in
|
|
the GLFW documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the
|
|
[Building programs that use GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html)
|
|
guide in the GLFW documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reporting bugs
|
|
|
|
Bugs are reported to our [issue tracker](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues).
|
|
Please always include the name and version of the OS where the bug occurs and
|
|
the version of GLFW used. If you have cloned it, include the commit ID used.
|
|
|
|
If it's a build issue, please also include the build log and the name and
|
|
version of your development environment.
|
|
|
|
If it's a context creation issue, please also include the make and model of your
|
|
graphics card and the version of your driver.
|
|
|
|
This will help both us and other people experiencing the same bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW bundles a number of dependencies in the `deps/` directory.
|
|
|
|
- [Khronos extension headers](https://www.opengl.org/registry/) for API
|
|
extension symbols used by GLFW
|
|
- [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
|
|
|
