<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Welcome to version 2.7 <i>Lite</i> of the GLFW OpenGL framework. GLFW is
|
|
a free, open source, portable framework for OpenGL application development. In
|
|
short, it is a library that constitutes a powerful API for handling operating
|
|
system specific tasks, such as opening an OpenGL window, reading keyboard and
|
|
mouse input, and more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>Please note</em> that this is the <i>Lite</i> version of GLFW, which
|
|
means that some areas of functionality present in 2.x mainline versions of GLFW
|
|
have been removed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="sec2">
|
|
<h2>2. Compiling GLFW and the example programs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To compile GLFW and the accompanying example programs, you will need the <a
|
|
href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a> build system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="sec3">
|
|
<h2>3. Installing GLFW</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>A rudimentary installation target is provided for all supported platforms
|
|
via the CMake build system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For Unix-like platforms, the command is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="pre"><pre>$ make install</pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that you may need to run this command as root or via
|
|
<code>sudo(1)</code> in order to install GLFW into the various system
|
|
directories.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For Visual C++ and other integrated development environments, an installation
|
|
target should appear in the by CMake generated project files.</p>
|
|
|

|
<h2>4. Using GLFW</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two aspects to using GLFW:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>How the GLFW API works</li>
|
|
<li>How to compile programs that use GLFW</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first point is covered in the <a href="docs/UsersGuide.pdf">GLFW
|
|
Users Guide</a> and the <a href="docs/Reference.pdf">GLFW Reference
|
|
Manual</a>, and we suggest that you read at least the Users Guide, since
|
|
it's a good introduction to the GLFW API.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Designing and compiling programs that use GLFW is not very difficult.
|
|
A few rules for successfully designing GLFW-based programs are presented
|
|
in the following sections.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>4.1 Include <code>GL/glfw.h</code></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>In your program, you should include <code>GL/glfw.h</code> like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><pre>#include <GL/glfw.h></pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This include file defines all the necessary constants, types and prototypes
|
|
that are used to interact with the GLFW API. It also includes
|
|
<code>GL/gl.h</code> and <code>GL/glu.h</code>, and - <em>it defines all the
|
|
necessary constants and types that are necessary for OpenGL to work on
|
|
different platforms</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For instance, under Windows you are normally required to include
|
|
<code>windows.h</code> before you include <code>GL/gl.h</code>. If you write
|
|
such a program, it would not compile under e.g. Linux since
|
|
<code>windows.h</code> does not exist under Linux. <code>GL/glfw.h</code>
|
|
takes care of these things for you. Note however that it does not actually
|
|
include <code>windows.h</code>, it merely mimics the parts of it that are
|
|
needed for <code>GL/gl.h</code> and <code>GL/glu.h</code> (this way we do not
|
|
get the thousands of constants, types and prototypes that could otherwise
|
|
possibly interfere with our own declarations).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In other words:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Do <em>not</em> include <code>GL/gl.h</code> or <code>GL/glu.h</code>
|
|
(GLFW does it for you)</li>
|
|
<li>Do <em>not</em> include <code>windows.h</code> unless you need
|
|
to write Win32-specific code</li>
|
|
<li>If you <em>do</em> need to include <code>windows.h</code>, do it
|
|
<em>before</em> including <code>GL/glfw.h</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>4.2 Link with the correct libraries</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4>4.2.1 Windows static library</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you link with the static version of GLFW, it is also necessary to
|
|
link with some system libraries that GLFW uses.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When linking a program under Windows that uses the static version of GLFW,
|
|
you must also link with the following libraries: <code>opengl32</code>,
|
|
<code>user32</code> and <code>kernel32</code>. Some of these libraries may be
|
|
linked with by default by your compiler. In the table below you can see the
|
|
minimum required link options for each supported Windows compiler (you may want
|
|
to add other libraries as well, such as <code>glu32</code>):</p>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr class="header">
|
|
<td>Compiler</td>
|
|
<td>Link options</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>Borland C++ Builder</td>
|
|
<td><code>glfw.lib opengl32.lib</code></td>
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
<td><i>See Unix static library below</i></td>

|
|
<td><code>glfw.lib opengl32.lib user32.lib kernel32.lib</code></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>4.2.2 Windows DLL</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>To compile a program that uses the DLL version of GLFW, you need to define
|
|
the <code>GLFW_DLL</code> constant. This can either be done with a compiler switch,
|
|
typically by adding <code>-DGLFW_DLL</code> to the list of compiler options. You can
|
|
also do it by adding the following line to all your source files that include
|
|
<code>glfw.h</code>, <em>before</em> including it:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><pre>#define GLFW_DLL</pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When linking a program under Windows that uses the DLL version of GLFW,
|
|
the only library you need to link with for GLFW to work is <code>glfwdll</code>.
|
|
In the table below you can see the minimum required link options for each
|
|
supported Windows compiler (you may want to add other libraries as well,
|
|
such as <code>opengl32</code> and <code>glu32</code>):</p>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|

<h4>4.2.3 Unix static library</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>GLFW now supports
|
|
<a href="http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/">pkgconfig</a>,
|
|
and a libglfw.pc file is generated and installed when you install the library.
|
|
For systems that do not provide pkgconfig, you should look in this file for the
|
|
proper compile and link flags for your system, as determined by compile.sh at
|
|
compile time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A typical compile and link command line may look like this (using GCC):</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><pre>gcc `pkg-config --cflags libglfw` -o myprog myprog.c `pkg-config --libs libglfw`</pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you use GLU functions in your program then you should also add the
|
|
<code>-lGLU</code> flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>4.2.5 Mac OS X static library</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>When compiling and linking a program under Mac OS X that uses GLFW, you
|
|
must also link with the following frameworks: <code>Carbon.framework</code>,
|
|
<code>AGL.framework</code> and <code>OpenGL.framework</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using Xcode, you simply add the GLFW library
|
|
<code>libglfw.a</code> and these frameworks to your project. If, however, you
|
|
are building your program from the command line, there are two methods for
|
|
correctly linking your GLFW program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>GLFW now supports <a
|
|
href="http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/">pkgconfig</a>, and a pkgconfig
|
|
file named libglfw.pc is generated and installed when you install the library.
|
|
You can find pkgconfig in most packaging systems, such as <a
|
|
href="http://www.finkproject.org/">Fink</a> and <a
|
|
href="http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/">DarwinPorts</a>, so if you have one
|
|
of them installed, simply install pkgconfig. Once you have pkgconfig available,
|
|
the command line for compiling and linking your program is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><pre>gcc `pkg-config --cflags libglfw` -o myprog myprog.c `pkg-config --libs libglfw`</pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you do not wish to use pkgconfig, you will need to add the required
|
|
frameworks and libraries to your command line using the <code>-l</code> and
|
|
<code>-framework</code> switches, i.e.:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><pre>gcc -o myprog myprog.c -lglfw -framework Carbon -framework AGL -framework OpenGL</pre></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that you do not add the .framework extension to a framework when adding
|
|
it from the command line.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These frameworks contain all GL and GLU functions, so there is no need to
|
|
add additional libraries or frameworks when using GLU functionality. Also note
|
|
that even though your machine may have Unix-style GL libraries, they are for
|
|
use with the X Window System, and will <em>not</em> work with the Mac OS X
|
|
native version of GLFW.</p>

<li>[x86 CPUs] Improved RDTSC timing (e.g. RDTSC support on single-CPU
|
|
Intel Hyper-Threading enabled systems)</li>
|
|
<li>[AmigaOS] Added joystick support</li>
|
|
<li>[AmigaOS] Mouse cursor positioning is now implemented</li>
|
|
<li>[AmigaOS] Added support for Geek Gadgets GCC</li>
|
|
<li>[AmigaOS] Bugfix: glfwGetWindowParam now returns proper values for
|
|
all parameters (except for GLFW_ACCELERATED)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.4.1</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added AmigaOS support (preliminary)</li>
|
|
<li>GLFW for the X Window System now works under Mac OS X</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: glfwWaitCond treated the timeout as milliseconds
|
|
instead of seconds</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: GLFW should now compile under IRIX v5.3</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: GLFW should now compile with Kylix</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.4</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Major source code rearrangement - much code is now shared between
|
|
different platforms, and it should be easier to port GLFW to new
|
|
platforms</li>
|
|
<li>Added a Unicode keyboard text input interface (CharCallback)</li>
|
|
<li>Keyboard key input is now slightly more internationalized: GLFW now
|
|
uses 8-bit ISO-8859-1 encoding for keys representing printable
|
|
characters (e.g. "Ö", "§", etc.), as
|
|
opposed to the previous 7-bit US-ASCII encoding</li>
|
|
<li>Added more key constants (F13-F25, keypad '=')</li>
|
|
<li>Added an enable/disable switch for automatic event polling from
|
|
glfwSwapBuffers</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Added support for sysctl for querying the number of processors
|
|
in the system (if POSIX sysconf is not supported)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: compile.sh now works with Sun sh (and hopefully others
|
|
too)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: compile.sh now detects the need for -ldl when dlopen is
|
|
used</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: When closing a fullscreen window under Win 9x/NT4,
|
|
the task bar icon now disappears properly</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: GLFW should now compile on a wider range of MSVC
|
|
compilers (e.g. .NET) - Thanks Tim Little!</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.3.2</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Removed the silly limitation of 100 threads (the thread information
|
|
is now kept in a linked list)</li>
|
|
<li>General source cleanup (window state is now kept in a single
|
|
struct, plus some other minor changes)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Added Solaris gethrtime() support (not tested yet), which
|
|
should give an improved timer for Sun/Solaris stations</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Some fixes to the 'compile.sh' script (-O for non-gcc compilers
|
|
and 'make x11-gcc' should now really force GCC)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.3.1</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>[X11] A minimalist configuration script was added that solves the
|
|
issue with glXGetProcAddressARB, and unifies all Unix/X11 Makefiles
|
|
into one template Makefile (well, one for GLFW, and one for the
|
|
examples)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.3</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added OpenGL stereo rendering support</li>
|
|
<li>Added a function for parsing the OpenGL version string
|
|
(glfwGetGLVersion)</li>
|
|
<li>[x86] Bugfix: Hopefully the CPU core clock dependent timer RDTSC will
|
|
never be used on CPUs with variable core frequencies anymore</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: GLFW could create stereo rendering capable windows,
|
|
even if it was not requested (GLFW 2.2.x did not support selection
|
|
of stereo rendering)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: glfwGetProcAddress returned NULL on most systems (even
|
|
on those that supported glXGetProcAddressARB). Now GLFW assumes that
|
|
glXGetProcAddressARB is supported on all systems, which solves the
|
|
bug, but may result in compiler errors on some systems (please let me
|
|
know if you have any related problems).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.2.3</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Bugfix: Checking for GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap is more robust</li>
|
|
<li>Bugfix: glfwLoadTexture2D will now fail if no window is opened</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Right shift was not detected under Win 9x/ME (it is
|
|
still not as good as under NT/2K/XP, but at least you get right
|
|
shifts)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Visuals are now selected more accurately. For instance,
|
|
glfwOpenWindow will no longer fail if you request a 24-bit color
|
|
buffer if only 16-bit color visuals are available (which means that
|
|
pong3d should work on 16-bit displays).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.2.2</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Windows did not always get focus (this was a tough
|
|
one!)</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: glfwGetWindowParam did not work with
|
|
GLFW_ACCUM_*_BITS or GLFW_AUX_BUFFERS</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Linux joystick Y axis positions were reversed</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.2.1</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>[X11] Added joystick support for Linux</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.2</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added joystick support (only supported under Windows so far)</li>
|
|
<li>Added joystick controls to pong3d.c (only 3 more lines of code)</li>
|
|
<li>Added glfwOpenWindowHint() function</li>
|
|
<li>It is now possible to specify a desired vertical monitor refresh
|
|
rate (for fullscreen windows)</li>
|
|
<li>It is now possible to request an accumulator buffer and auxiliary
|
|
buffers</li>
|
|
<li>Added glfwSetTime() function</li>
|
|
<li>Added a GLFW conversion of the MESA/GLUT gears.c demo to the example
|
|
programs</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] gdi32.dll and winmm.dll are now loaded dynamically when
|
|
glfwInit() is called. This means that there is no need to link with
|
|
gdi32.lib or winmm.lib when using the static version of GLFW, which
|
|
should make GLFW usage more convenient.</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Greatly improved keyboard input (detect left/right
|
|
CTRL etc)</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: glfwExtensionSupported now detects all WGL extensions
|
|
(e.g. WGL_ARB_pbuffer)</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Mouse cursor was not re-hidden when a GLFW window was
|
|
deselected and then selected again (with ALT+TAB)</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Minor bug in the SGI timer - and ugly (unintended) SGI
|
|
timer debug info removed</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: glfwGetDesktopMode and glfwGetVideoModes no longer give
|
|
segmentation faults if no X server is available</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.1</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added image and texture loading capabilities (support for the TGA
|
|
file format at the moment)</li>
|
|
<li>Added a new example program (mipmaps.c) for showing off the automatic
|
|
mipmap generation and texture loading capabilities of GLFW 2.1</li>
|
|
<li>Removed the separate TGA loader (tga.c in the examples directory)
|
|
since texture loading is supported natively by GLFW. Also updated the
|
|
Pong3D demo to use GLFW texture loading instead of tga.c.</li>
|
|
<li>Improved keyboard handling (e.g. numeric keypad keys can be
|
|
detected)</li>
|
|
<li>Added a new example program, keytest.c</li>
|
|
<li>Changed the GLFWvidmode structure and the corresponding API functions
|
|
to report pure color bits instead of the confusing (and unportable)
|
|
"BPP" field</li>
|
|
<li>Changed glfwSetWindowSize so that it operates in fullscreen mode
|
|
too</li>
|
|
<li>Added mouse wheel support under Windows (not Win95) and X11</li>
|
|
<li>Added window iconification functions (glfwInconifyWindow and
|
|
glfwRestoreWindow)</li>
|
|
<li>Improved iconification and deactivation handling under both Windows
|
|
and X11</li>
|
|
<li>Made it possible to turn on/off key repeat (the default is now no key
|
|
repeat)</li>
|
|
<li>Added SGI hardware timer support (CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE) for improved
|
|
timer resolution for SGI computers</li>
|
|
<li>Added support for the free Borland C++ Builder 5.x compiler for
|
|
Windows</li>
|
|
<li>Made it possible to compiler GLFW as a Windows DLL using any of the
|
|
supported compilers</li>
|
|
<li>Some constants have changed names (e.g. GLFW_REDBITS is now called
|
|
GLFW_RED_BITS)</li>
|
|
<li>Updated GLFW documentation (GLFW Users Guide and GLFW Reference
|
|
Manual) to reflect the changes in the API</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Corrected Cygwin toplevel makefile entry</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Fixed event lag bug</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Fixed Radeon 8500 crash</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Fixed the window close bug</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Iconification/deactivation is now detected</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Non-OpenGL visuals are not listed anymore</li>
|
|

|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.0.3</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added precise CPU cycle based timing support (RDTSC) for x86
|
|
CPUs (under both Windows and Unix)</li>
|
|
<li>Added a makefile option for building for Windows with Cygwin</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected the CC for Unix/X11 makefiles (-Wall is usually not a
|
|
supported flag for CC, so it was removed from the CFLAGS list)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.0.2</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added a makefile option for building for X11 with 'cc' rather than
|
|
'gcc' (useful for IRIX users for instance).</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Mouse coordinates are now relative to the window
|
|
upper left corner, which also means that disabling the mouse cursor
|
|
in windowed mode should work much better.</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: Added a bunch of more keys that are recognized by
|
|
GLFW.</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: glfwGetNumberOfProcessors now works for IRIX (earlier
|
|
versions of GLFW would not compile under IRIX).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.0.1</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>glfwTerminate() will now be called automatically upon normal program
|
|
termination (using atexit())</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Buffer-swapping did not work if a window lost
|
|
focus.</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: Top level Makefile did not work under Windows
|
|
9x.</li>
|
|
<li>[Win32] Bugfix: NULL declaration in glfw.h was not MSVC 7.x
|
|
compatible.</li>
|
|
<li>[X11] Bugfix: GLFW would not build with C++ (e.g. g++).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.0</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GLFW is no longer a single source file, but an entire link library.</li>
|
|
<li>Added multi threading support.</li>
|
|
<li>Added more window control.</li>
|
|
<li>New distribution layout (both Win32 and X11 version in same archive).</li>
|
|
<li>Added GLFW Users Manual and GLFW Reference Manual as PDF files.</li>
|
|
