README

        # GLFW 3.3 for Go [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/go-gl/glfw.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/go-gl/glfw) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw)

## 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 macOS, 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.

	* On CentOS/Fedora-like Linux distributions, you need `libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel libXxf86vm-devel` packages.

	* On FreeBSD, you need the package `pkgconf`. To build for X, you also need the package `xorg`; and to build for Wayland, you need the package `wayland`.

	* On NetBSD, to build for X, you need the X11 sets installed. These are included in all graphical installs, and can be added to the system with `sysinst(8)` on non-graphical systems. Wayland support is incomplete, due to missing wscons support in upstream GLFW. To attempt to build for Wayland, you need to install the `wayland libepoll-shim` packages and set the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgconfig`.

	* On OpenBSD, you need the X11 sets. These are installed by default, and can be added from the ramdisk kernel at any time.

	* See [here](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html#compile_deps) for full details.

* Go 1.4+ is required on Windows (otherwise you must use MinGW v4.8.1 exactly, see [Go issue 8811](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8811)).

```

go get -u github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw

```

### OpenGL ES

If your target system only provides an OpenGL ES implementation (true for some ARM boards), you need to link against that implementation.

You do this by defining the appropriate build tags, e.g.

```

go get -u -tags=gles2 github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw

```

Supported tags are `gles1`, `gles2`, `gles3` and `vulkan`.

Note that required packages might differ from those listed above; consult your hardware's documentation.

## Usage

```Go

package main

import (

	"runtime"

	"github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/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()

	}

}

```

### GLFW 3.2 Specfic Changes

- 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](https://github.com/go-gl/glfw/blob/master/v3.3/glfw/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.
