Camilla Berglund e94d16667b Cocoa: Add basic support for Vulkan via MoltenVK 
This adds basic support for MoltenVK, a Vulkan implementation on top of
Metal, on macOS 10.11 and later.  It looks for MoltenVK in the process
via RTLD_DEFAULT symbol lookup if _GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC is disabled.

glfwCreateWindowSurface now creates and sets a CAMetalLayer for the
window content view, which is required for MoltenVK to function.

You must help CMake find MoltenVK for the Vulkan test to be built.

Fixes #870.

Build status Build status Coverity Scan

Introduction

GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.

GLFW is licensed under the zlib/libpng license.

The latest stable release is version 3.2.1.

See the downloads page for details and files, or fetch the latest branch, which always points to the latest stable release. Each release starting with 3.0 also has a corresponding annotated tag with source and binary archives.

This is a development branch for version 3.3, which is not yet described.

If you are new to GLFW, you may find the tutorial for GLFW 3 useful. If you have used GLFW 2 in the past, there is a transition guide for moving to the GLFW 3 API.

Compiling GLFW

GLFW itself requires only the headers and libraries for your window system. It does not need the headers for any context creation API (WGL, GLX, EGL, NSGL) or rendering API (OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan) to enable support for them.

GLFW supports compilation on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 and later, MinGW and MinGW-w64, on macOS with Clang and on Linux and other Unix-like systems with GCC and Clang. It will likely compile in other environments as well, but this is not regularly tested.

There are also pre-compiled Windows binaries available for all compilers supported on that platform.

See the compilation guide in the documentation for more information.

Using GLFW

See the building application guide guide in the documentation for more information.

System requirements

GLFW supports Windows XP and later, OS X 10.7 Lion and later, and Linux and other Unix-like systems with the X Window System. Experimental implementations for the Wayland protocol and the Mir display server are available but not yet officially supported.

See the compatibility guide in the documentation for more information.

Dependencies

GLFW itself depends only on the headers and libraries for your window system.

The examples and test programs depend on a number of tiny libraries. These are located in the deps/ directory.

The Vulkan example additionally requires the Vulkan SDK to be installed, or it will not be included in the build.

The documentation is generated with Doxygen. If CMake does not find Doxygen, the documentation will not be generated when you build.

Reporting bugs

Bugs are reported to our issue tracker. Please check the contribution guide for information on what to include when reporting a bug.
