GLFW简介

GLFW 是配合 OpenGL 使用的轻量级工具程序库，缩写自 Graphics Library Framework（图形库框架）。GLFW 的主要功能是创建并管理窗口和 OpenGL 上下文，同时还提供了处理手柄、键盘、鼠标输入的功能。有类似功能的库还有 GLUT和 SDL。

Build

• 下载

$ git clone https://github.com/glfw/glfw.git

• 编译 && 安装

$ cd glfw && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j8 && make install

Getting started

可以阅读Getting started来理解GLFW3的使用，通过一个例子讲解如何使用GLFW3来创建一个窗口和绘制一个旋转的三角形，当关闭窗口时如何释放资源。

#include <glad/glad.h> // 需要依赖glad这个库
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include "linmath.h" // 这个是glfw3里面的一个文件，可以从里面拿到，不过编译安装的时候不会安装到系统目录
 
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
