GLFW 3.1 for Go Build Status GoDoc

Installation

  • GLFW C library source is included and built automatically as part of the Go package. But you need to make sure you have dependencies of GLFW:
    • On OS X, you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode (xcode-select --install) for required headers and libraries.
    • On Ubuntu/Debian-like Linux distributions, you need libgl1-mesa-dev and xorg-dev packages.
    • See here for full details.
  • Go 1.4+ is required on Windows (otherwise you must use MinGW v4.8.1 exactly, see Go issue 8811).
go get -u github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.1/glfw

Usage

package main

import (
	"runtime"
	"github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.1/glfw"
)

func init() {
	// This is needed to arrange that main() runs on main thread.
	// See documentation for functions that are only allowed to be called from the main thread.
	runtime.LockOSThread()
}

func main() {
	err := glfw.Init()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer glfw.Terminate()

	window, err := glfw.CreateWindow(640, 480, "Testing", nil, nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	window.MakeContextCurrent()

	for !window.ShouldClose() {
		// Do OpenGL stuff.
		window.SwapBuffers()
		glfw.PollEvents()
	}
}

Changelog

  • Easy go get installation. GLFW source code is now included in-repo and compiled in so you don't have to build GLFW on your own and distribute shared libraries. The revision of GLFW C library used is listed in GLFW_C_REVISION.txt file.
  • The error callback is now set internally. Functions return an error with corresponding code and description (do a type assertion to glfw3.Error for accessing the variables) if the error is recoverable. If not a panic will occur.
