GLFW3 bindings and idiomatic wrapper for Rust.

glfw-rs

GLFW bindings and wrapper for The Rust Programming Language.

Example

extern crate native;
extern crate glfw;

use glfw::Context;

#[start]
fn start(argc: int, argv: **u8) -> int {
    native::start(argc, argv, main)
}

fn main() {
    let glfw = glfw::init(glfw::FAIL_ON_ERRORS).unwrap();

    let (window, events) = glfw.create_window(300, 300, "Hello this is window", glfw::Windowed)
        .expect("Failed to create GLFW window.");

    window.set_key_polling(true);
    window.make_current();

    while !window.should_close() {
        glfw.poll_events();
        for (_, event) in glfw::flush_messages(&events) {
            handle_window_event(&window, event);
        }
    }
}

fn handle_window_event(window: &glfw::Window, event: glfw::WindowEvent) {
    match event {
        glfw::KeyEvent(glfw::KeyEscape, _, glfw::Press, _) => {
            window.set_should_close(true)
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}

Compilation

Prerequisites

Make sure you have compiled and installed GLFW 3.x. You might be able to find it on your package manager, for example on OS X: brew install --static glfw3. If not you can download and build the library from the source supplied on the GLFW website. Note that if you compile GLFW with CMake on Linux, you will have to supply the -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-fPIC argument. You may install GLFW to your PATH, otherwise you will have to specify the directory containing the library binaries when you call make or make lib:

GLFW_LIB_DIR=path/to/glfw/lib/directory make

Targets

• make: library, examples, docs
• make lib: libs only
• make doc: docs only
• make examples: build examples
• make src/examples/<example>.rs: build a specific example
• make clean: clean up all build files

Cargo-lite

You can use cargo-lite:

cargo-lite.py install --git https://github.com/bjz/glfw-rs.git glfw-rs
