@subsection build_link_cmake With CMake and GLFW source
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can use the GLFW source tree directly from a project that uses CMake. This
|
||||||
|
way, GLFW will be built along with your application as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Firstly, add the root directory of the GLFW source tree to your project. This
|
||||||
|
will add the `glfw` target and the necessary cache variables to your project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
add_subdirectory(path/to/glfw)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To be able to include the GLFW header from your code, you need to tell the
|
||||||
|
compiler where to find it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
include_directories(path/to/glfw/include)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once GLFW has been added to the project, the `GLFW_LIBRARIES` cache variable
|
||||||
|
contains all link-time dependencies of GLFW as it is currently configured. To
|
||||||
|
link against GLFW, link against them and the `glfw` target.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
target_link_libraries(myapp glfw ${GLFW_LIBRARIES})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that `GLFW_LIBRARIES` does not include GLU, as GLFW does not use it. If
|
||||||
|
your application needs GLU, you can add it to the list of dependencies with the
|
||||||
|
`OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY` cache variable, which is implicitly created when the GLFW
|
||||||
|
CMake files look for OpenGL.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
target_link_libraries(myapp glfw ${OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY} ${GLFW_LIBRARIES})
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

@subsection build_link_cmake With CMake on Unix and installed GLFW binaries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CMake can import settings from pkg-config, which GLFW supports. When you
|
||||||
|
installed GLFW, the pkg-config file `glfw3.pc` was installed along with it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First you need to find the PkgConfig package. If this fails, you may need to
|
||||||
|
install the pkg-config package for your distribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This creates the CMake commands to find pkg-config packages. Then you need to
|
||||||
|
find the GLFW package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pkg_search_module(GLFW REQUIRED glfw3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This creates the CMake variables you need to use GLFW. To be able to include
|
||||||
|
the GLFW header, you need to tell your compiler where it is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
include_directories(${GLFW_INCLUDE_DIRS})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You also need to link against the correct libraries. If you are using the
|
||||||
|
shared library version of GLFW, use the `GLFW_LIBRARIES` variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
target_link_libraries(simple ${GLFW_LIBRARIES})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the static library version of GLFW, use the
|
||||||
|
`GLFW_STATIC_LIBRARIES` variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
target_link_libraries(simple ${GLFW_STATIC_LIBRARIES})

The dependencies do not include GLU, as GLFW does not need it. On OS X, GLU is
|
||||||
|
built into the OpenGL framework, so if you need GLU you don't need to do
|
||||||
|
anything extra. If you need GLU and are using Linux or BSD, you should add
|
||||||
|
`-lGLU` to your link flags.

|
