# Contribution Guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This file is a work in progress and you can report errors or submit patches for
|
||
|
|
it the same as any other file.

## Reporting a bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If GLFW is behaving unexpectedly, make sure you have set an error callback.
|
||
|
|
GLFW will often tell you the cause of an issue via this callback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If GLFW is crashing or triggering asserts, make sure that all your object
|
||
|
|
handles and other pointers are valid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always include the __operating system name and version__ (i.e. `Windows
|
||
|
|
7 64-bit`). If you are using an official release of GLFW, include the __GLFW
|
||
|
|
release version__ (i.e. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the __GLFW commit ID__ (i.e.
|
||
|
|
`3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git. If possible, please also
|
||
|
|
include the __GLFW version string__ (`"3.2.0 X11 EGL clock_gettime /dev/js XI
|
||
|
|
Xf86vm"`), as returned by glfwGetVersionString.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a compile or link bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the information above, always include the complete build log.
|
||
|
|
Issue posts are editable so it can always be shortened later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a context creation bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
__Note:__ Windows ships with graphics drivers that do not support OpenGL. If
|
||
|
|
GLFW says that your machine lacks support for OpenGL, it very likely does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
__Note:__ AMD only supports OpenGL ES on Windows via EGL, which is not enabled
|
||
|
|
in GLFW by default. You need to enable EGL when compiling GLFW to use this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `glfwinfo` tool lets you request any kind of context and framebuffer format
|
||
|
|
supported by the GLFW API without having to recompile. If context creation
|
||
|
|
fails in your application, please verify that it also fails with this tool
|
||
|
|
before reporting it as a bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the information above, always include the __GPU model and driver
|
||
|
|
version__ (i.e. `GeForce GTX660 with 352.79`) when reporting this kind of bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a monitor or video mode bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
__Note:__ On headless systems on some platforms, no monitors are reported. This
|
||
|
|
causes glfwGetPrimaryMonitor to return `NULL`, which not all applications are
|
||
|
|
prepared for.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `monitors` tool lists all information about connected monitors made
|
||
|
|
available by GLFW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the information above, if possible please also include the output
|
||
|
|
of the `monitors` tool when reporting this kind of bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a window event bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `events` tool prints all information provided to every callback supported by
|
||
|
|
GLFW as events occur. Each event is listed with the time and a unique number
|
||
|
|
to make discussions about event logs easier. The tool has command-line options
|
||
|
|
for creating multiple windows and full screen windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a documentation bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you found the error in the generated documentation then it's fine to just
|
||
|
|
link to that webpage. You don't need to figure out which documentation source
|
||
|
|
file the text comes from.
|
||
|
