GLFW

• Exploring Computer Graphics: Weekly Chronicle #1

  GLFW: A library for window creation and managing user input.

• New Vulkan Documentation Website

  Not SDL2, but GLFW has something like that under the tests/ directory:

• LWJGL = SFML vs Allegro vs SDL vs Ogre vs ???
  2 projects | /r/opengl | 5 Jul 2023

  I'm not familiar with LWJGL, my 5 seconds on their website makes me think you might be looking for something like GLFW https://www.glfw.org/ to handle I/O and window creation/management.

• I have spent two whole work days trying to install GLEW
  6 projects | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 3 Jul 2023

  Consider GLFW3 for windowing and GLAD for function loading. I've used this combination myself successfully. Granted, that is "two things" you need, but OTOH it'll work well.

• OpenGL (GLFW and GLAD) not linking with cmake
  2 projects | /r/cmake | 30 May 2023

  There is a pattern to it which is usable with every GitHub repository. For example, GLFW v3.3.8 can be fetched from: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/archive/refs/tags/3.3.8.tar.gz

  2 projects | /r/cmake | 30 May 2023

  What exactly would I fetch with this method? He's fetching a raylib url, but I don't really see a pattern in it I can follow when fetching glfw. I assume I can use this repository? https://github.com/glfw/glfw

• Curseforge Minecraft running on M2?
  2 projects | /r/macgaming | 1 Apr 2023

  I'm not sure how to fix it, sorry. I searched for some of the messages and found this bug: . I think overriding the LWJGL library might fix the issue, but I don't see any way to do that with the CurseForge launcher.

• GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!

• Newbie questions about how to start
  2 projects | /r/VoxelGameDev | 21 Feb 2023

  To go multiplatform with OpenGL / Vulkan (harder for a beginner) you can use a simple window library like GLFW and Dear ImGui for UI. I use these for Avoyd, along with a few other libraries.
