Fixes formatting, semantics and documentation. Adds glfwGetOSMesaContext. Adds support for OSMesa context attributes. Updates changelog and credits. Adds license and copyright headers. Removes superfluous code (the shared code provides many conveniences). Removes loading of unused OSMesa functions. Removes empty platform structs. Fixes version string format. Removes build dependency on the OSMesa header and library (only the library is needed and only at runtime). Closes #850.

## 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 is licensed under the [zlib/libpng
|
|
license](https://opensource.org/licenses/Zlib).
|
|
|
|
The latest stable release is version 3.2.1.
|
|
|
|
See the [downloads](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) page for details and
|
|
files, or fetch the `latest` branch, which always points to the latest stable
|
|
release. Each release starting with 3.0 also has a corresponding [annotated
|
|
tag](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases) with source and binary archives.
|
|
|
|
This is a development branch for version 3.3, which is _not yet described_.
|
|
|
|
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 window system. It
|
|
does not need the headers for any context creation API (WGL, GLX, EGL, NSGL) 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 also [pre-compiled Windows
|
|
binaries](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) available for all compilers
|
|
supported on that platform.
|
|
|
|
See the [compilation guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) in the
|
|
documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using GLFW
|
|
|
|
See the [building application guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html)
|
|
guide in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
GLFW supports Windows XP and later, OS X 10.7 Lion and later, and Linux and
|
|
other Unix-like systems with the X Window System. Experimental implementations
|
|
for the Wayland protocol and the Mir display server are available but not yet
|
|
officially supported.
|
|
|
|
See the [compatibility guide](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compat.html)
|
|
in the documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
GLFW itself depends only on the headers and libraries for your window system.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
- An OpenGL 3.2 core loader generated by
|
|
[glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) for examples using modern OpenGL
|
|
- [linmath.h](https://github.com/datenwolf/linmath.h) for linear algebra in
|
|
examples
|
|
- [Nuklear](https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) for test and example UI
|
|
- [Vulkan headers](https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/) for Vulkan tests
|
|
|
|
The Vulkan example additionally requires the Vulkan SDK to be installed, or it
|
|
will not be included in the build.
|
|
|
|
The documentation is generated with [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org/). If CMake
|
|
does not find Doxygen, the documentation will not be generated when you build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
