When the WM does not support EWMH or there is no WM running, GLFW falls back to XSetInputFocus, which will emit BadMatch if the window is not viewable, which will terminate the program. Bug spotted on IRC.

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan
|
|
application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for
|
|
creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
|
|
|
|
GLFW natively supports Windows, macOS and Linux and other Unix-like systems. On
|
|
Linux both X11 and Wayland are supported.
|
|
|
|
GLFW is licensed under the [zlib/libpng
|
|
license](http://www.glfw.org/license.html).
|
|
|
|
You can [download](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) the latest stable release
|
|
as source or Windows binaries, or fetch the `latest` branch from GitHub. Each
|
|
release starting with 3.0 also has a corresponding [annotated
|
|
tag](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases) with source and binary archives.
|
|
|
|
The [documentation](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/) is available online and is
|
|
included in all source and binary archives. See the [release
|
|
notes](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/news.html) for new features, caveats and
|
|
deprecations in the latest release. For more details see the [version
|
|
history](http://www.glfw.org/changelog.html).
|
|
|
|
The `master` branch is the stable integration branch and _should_ always compile
|
|
and run on all supported platforms, although details of newly added features may
|
|
change until they have been included in a release. New features and many bug
|
|
fixes live in [other branches](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/branches/all) until
|
|
they are stable enough to merge.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to GLFW, you may find the
|
|
[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
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself requires only the headers and libraries for your OS and window
|
|
system. It does not need the headers for any context creation API (WGL, GLX,
|
|
EGL, NSGL, OSMesa) or rendering API (OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan) to enable
|
|
support for them.
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports compilation on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 and later, MinGW and
|
|
MinGW-w64, on macOS with Clang and on Linux and other Unix-like systems with GCC
|
|
and Clang. It will likely compile in other environments as well, but this is
|
|
not regularly tested.
|
|
|
|
There are [pre-compiled Windows binaries](http://www.glfw.org/download.html)
|
|
available for all supported compilers.
|
|
|
|
See the [compilation guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) for
|
|
more information about how to compile GLFW yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/) for tutorials, guides
|
|
and the API reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Contributing to GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [contribution
|
|
guide](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports Windows XP and later and macOS 10.8 and later. Linux and other
|
|
Unix-like systems running the X Window System are supported even without
|
|
a desktop environment or modern extensions, although some features require
|
|
a running window or clipboard manager. The OSMesa backend requires Mesa 6.3.
|
|
|
|
See the [compatibility guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compat.html)
|
|
in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself needs only CMake 3.1 or later and the headers and libraries for your
|
|
OS and window system.
|
|
|
|
The (experimental) Wayland backend also depends on the `extra-cmake-modules`
|
|
package, which is used to generate Wayland protocol headers.
|
|
|
|
The examples and test programs depend on a number of tiny libraries. These are
|
|
located in the `deps/` directory.
|
|
|
|
- [getopt\_port](https://github.com/kimgr/getopt_port/) for examples
|
|
with command-line options
|
|
- [TinyCThread](https://github.com/tinycthread/tinycthread) for threaded
|
|
examples
|
|
- [glad2](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) for loading OpenGL and Vulkan
|
|
functions
|
|
- [linmath.h](https://github.com/datenwolf/linmath.h) for linear algebra in
|
|
examples
|
|
- [Nuklear](https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) for test and example UI
|
|
- [stb\_image\_write](https://github.com/nothings/stb) for writing images to disk
|
|
|
|
The documentation is generated with [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org/) if CMake can
|
|
find that tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
