Installing the GLFW library in Windows
There are two ways to install the GLFW library in Windows, both of which will be discussed in this section. The first approach involves compiling the GLFW source code directly with CMake for full control. However, to simplify the process, we suggest that you download the precompiled binary distribution.
Getting ready
We assume that you have successfully installed both Visual Studio 2013 and CMake, as described in the earlier section. For completeness, we will demonstrate how to install GLFW using CMake.
How to do it...
To use the precompiled binary package for GLFW, follow these steps:
- Create the
C:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4directory. Grant the necessary permissions when prompted. - Download the
glfw-3.0.4.bin.WIN32.zippackage from http://sourceforge.net/projects/glfw/files/glfw/3.0.4/glfw-3.0.4.bin.WIN32.zip and unzip the package. - Copy all the extracted content inside the
glfw-3.0.4.bin.WIN32folder (for example, includelib-msvc2012) into theC:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4directory. Grant permissions when prompted. - Rename the
lib-msvc2012folder tolibinside theC:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4directory. Grant permissions when prompted.
Alternatively, to compile the source files directly, follow these procedures:
- Download the source package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/glfw/files/glfw/3.0.4/glfw-3.0.4.zip and unzip the package on the desktop. Create a new folder called
buildinside the extractedglfw-3.0.4folder to store the binaries.and opencmake-gui. - Select
glfw-3.0.4(from the desktop) as the source directory andglfw-3.0.4/buildas the build directory. The screenshot is shown as follows:
- Click on Generate and select Visual Studio 12 2013 in the prompt.
- Click on Generate again.
- Open the
builddirectory and double-click on GLFW.sln to open Visual Studio. - In Visual Studio, click Build Solution (press F7).
- Copy build/src/Debug/glfw3.lib to C:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4/lib.
- Copy the
includedirectory (insideglfw-3.0.4/include) to C:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4/.
After this step, we should have the include (glfw3.h) and library (glfw3.lib) files inside the C:/Program Files (x86)/glfw-3.0.4 directory, as shown in the setup procedure using precompiled binaries.
