# 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW bundles a number of dependencies in the `deps/` directory.
|
|
|
|
The following dependencies are needed by GLFW:
|
|
|
|
- [Khronos extension headers](https://www.opengl.org/registry/)
|
|
|
|
The following dependencies are needed by the examples and test programs:
|
|
|
|
- [getopt\_port](https://github.com/kimgr/getopt_port/) for getopt
|
|
- [TinyCThread](https://gitorious.org/tinythread/tinycthread/) for threading
|
|
- An OpenGL loader generated by [glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad)
|
|
|
|
|
|
