# 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` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). 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 described
|
|
[here](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro.html#intro_version_string).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
Install drivers from the computer manufacturer or graphics card manufacturer
|
|
([Nvidia](http://www.geforce.com/drivers),
|
|
[AMD](http://support.amd.com/en-us/download),
|
|
[Intel](https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html)) to
|
|
fix this.
|
|
|
|
__Note:__ AMD only supports OpenGL ES on Windows via EGL. EGL support is not
|
|
enabled in GLFW by default. You need to [enable EGL when
|
|
compiling](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) GLFW to use this.
|
|
|
|
The `glfwinfo` tool is included in the GLFW source tree as `tests/glfwinfo.c`
|
|
and is built along with the library. It 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 (OS and GLFW version), 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.
|
|
|
|
__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.
|
|
|
|
The `monitors` tool is included in the GLFW source tree as `tests/monitors.c`
|
|
and is built along with the library. lists all information about connected
|
|
monitors made available by GLFW.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the information above (OS and GLFW version), please also include
|
|
the output of the `monitors` tool when reporting this kind of bug. If it
|
|
doesn't work at all, please mention this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reporting a window event bug
|
|
|
|
__Note:__ While GLFW tries to provide the exact same behavior between platforms,
|
|
the exact ordering of related window events will sometimes differ.
|
|
|
|
The `events` tool is included in the GLFW source tree as `tests/events.c` and is
|
|
built along with the library. It 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.
