@subsection build_link_cmake_source With CMake and GLFW source
This section is about using CMake to compile and link GLFW along with your
application. If you want to use an installed binary instead, see @ref
build_link_cmake_module.
With just a few changes to your `CMakeLists.txt` you can have the GLFW source
tree built along with your application.

If GLU is found, the `OPENGL_GLU_FOUND` variable is true and the
`OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR` and `OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY` cache variables can be used.

@subsection build_link_cmake_pkgconfig With CMake on Unix and installed GLFW binaries
@subsection build_link_cmake_module With CMake and installed GLFW binaries
CMake can import settings from pkg-config, which GLFW supports. When you
installed GLFW, the pkg-config file `glfw3.pc` was installed along with it.
This section is about using CMake to link GLFW after it has been built and
installed. If you want to build it along with your application instead, see
@ref build_link_cmake_source.
First you need to find the PkgConfig package. If this fails, you may need to
install the pkg-config package for your distribution.
With just a few changes to your `CMakeLists.txt`, you can locate the module and
target files generated when GLFW is installed.
@code{.cmake}
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
find_package(glfw3 3.2 REQUIRED)
@endcode
This creates the CMake commands to find pkg-config packages. Then you need to
find the GLFW package.
Once GLFW has been located, link against it with the `glfw` target. This adds
all link-time dependencies of GLFW as it is currently configured, the include
directory for the GLFW header and, when applicable, the
[GLFW_DLL](@ref build_macros) macro.
@code{.cmake}
pkg_search_module(GLFW REQUIRED glfw3)
target_link_libraries(myapp glfw)
@endcode
This creates the CMake variables you need to use GLFW. To be able to include
the GLFW header, you need to tell your compiler where it is.
Note that it does not include GLU, as GLFW does not use it. If your application
needs GLU, you can find it by requiring the OpenGL package.
@code{.cmake}
include_directories(${GLFW_INCLUDE_DIRS})
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
@endcode
You also need to link against the correct libraries. If you are using the
shared library version of GLFW, use the `GLFW_LIBRARIES` variable.
If GLU is found, the `OPENGL_GLU_FOUND` variable is true and the
`OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR` and `OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY` cache variables can be used.
@code{.cmake}
target_link_libraries(simple ${GLFW_LIBRARIES})
@endcode
If you are using the static library version of GLFW, use the
`GLFW_STATIC_LIBRARIES` variable instead.
@code{.cmake}
target_link_libraries(simple ${GLFW_STATIC_LIBRARIES})
target_include_directories(myapp ${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(myapp ${OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY})
@endcode

GLFW supports [pkg-config](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/),
and the `glfw3.pc` pkf-config file is generated when the GLFW library is built
