### Reporting a compile or link bug
__Note:__ GLFW needs many system APIs to do its job. See the [Building
applications](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html) guide for more
information.
In addition to the information above, always include the complete build log from
your compiler and linker. Issue posts are editable so it can always be
shortened later.

__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.
Install drivers from the computer manufacturer or graphics card manufacturer

fix this.

in GLFW by default. You need to enable EGL when compiling GLFW to use this.

causes glfwGetPrimaryMonitor to return `NULL`, which not all applications are
prepared for.
__Note:__ Some third-party tools report more video modes than those approved of
by the OS. For safety and compatbility, GLFW only reports video modes the OS
wants programs to use. This is not a bug.

monitors made available by GLFW.
