Jai GLFW

Jai Version GLFW Version

Jai bindings (generator) for GLFW compatible with Windows (x64, ARM64), Linux (x64, ARM64) & macOS (Universal)

#import "glfw";

See also examples/window.jai for a brief example.

Generator

The repository contains pre-built bindings and libraries that can be used as-is. However, if you want to rebuild them, you can either run eg. jai build.jai or use your own build script and integrate generator.jai programmatically:

options: glfw_generator.Options;
options.source_dir = "glfw";
options.output_dir = "dist";
options.debug_build = true;
glfw_generator.generate(options);

// This would be equal to running 'jai build.jai - -debug'

There are various options available to customize the generator, so be sure to check the respective files.

Important

To simplify the compilation of libraries, generator requires cmake to be installed and included in your PATH. The minimum CMake version depends on the CMakeLists that comes with the provided GLFW source.

Dynamic linking

Library is linked statically by default. You can change this by using optional module parameter:

#import "glfw"(USE_STATIC_LIB=false);

Note

If you are compiling your project using WSL but your source files are located on Windows filesystem, dynamic linking will fail with Dynamic library load failed: linux/x64/libglfw.so: file too short because Linux does not understand Windows symlinks (see link)
