Supports Linux and Windows. OSX is not supported due to inherent incompatibilites in the OSX UI threading model, as well as Apple announcing the discontinuing of support of OpenGL on OSX (https://goo.gl/qQdeQ5).

mkdir -p lib/src/generated/
pub run tools/glfw_generator.dart --glfw3_path=<path to glfw3.h>
clang-format -i --style=Google generated/*.{cc,h}
dartfmt -w generated/*.dart
mv generated/* lib/src/generated

The previous method for compiling the bindings is no longer available. We are working on a new solution for both Linux and Windows.

In the meantime, the Makefile in the lib/ directory is a good starting point for compiling on Linux.

• glfwWindowShouldClose returns an int, rather than a bool, but unlike in C, the expression !(1) returns true so you must explicitly test glfwWindowShouldClose(window) != 1
  • There is also a convenience function
    bool glfwWindowShouldCloseAsBool(GLFWwindow window)

These changes are due to the C library's use of pointer arguments to return values. See also lib/src/manual_bindings.dart.

• glfwGetVersion
  • Returns a GLFWVersion instance which has major, minor, rev fields.
• glfwGetMonitors
  • Returns a List<GLFWmonitor> instance.
• glfwGetMonitorPos
  • Returns a Point instance.
• glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize
  • Returns a Rectangle instance with xpos and ypos set to 0.
• glfwGetVideoModes
  • Returns a List<GLFWvidmode> instance.
• glfwGetWindowPos
  • Returns a Point instance.
• glfwGetWindowSize
  • Returns a Rectangle instance with xpos and ypos set to 0.
• glfwGetFramebufferSize
  • Returns a Rectangle instance with xpos and ypos set to 0.
• glfwGetWindowFrameSize
  • Returns a Rectangle instance.
• glfwSetWindowUserPointer
  • pointer parameter is a Dart Object.
• glfwGetWindowUserPointer
  • Returns an Object instance.
• glfwGetCursorPos
  • Returns a Point instance.
• glfwGetJoystickAxes
  • Returns a List<double> instance.
• glfwGetJoystickButtons
  • Returns a List<int> instance.

• glfwSwapBuffersAsync
  • An async version of glfwSwapBuffers that can be await-ed. This avoids blocking the current isolate while the glfwSwapBuffers call is waiting to finish.
