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.

Install all needed compilers, tools & libs. Complete list is: cmake make g libx11-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrandr-dev libxext-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev. Use sudo apt-get install. or su && yum install. Download the source code and unzip it, for instance in /Projects/OpenGLTutorials/. CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.

It is a great library, if you want to build OpenGL applications it is highly recommended.

You can find GLFW library at diego/glfw.

Running the examples¶

It is very simple. Create a new project, open the examples, build and run them:

Linux users may need to install some additional software

If you are using Ubuntu Linux, you may need to install some additional packages. To do so, execute:

Depending on your linux setup you might need to install also libxinerama-dev lib libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev

If you are in RH - Fedora, you may need to install:

You should see in your screen:

There are also other examples that have been built! Enjoy them and GLFW!

Of course, you can also do your own GLFW programs from your own block:

Then copy your source files to yourusername/yourblock folder, change your includes to:

And then, find and retrieve dependencies, build and run your program:
