when you build GLFW. If you built GLFW from the source package then you already have this as <code>simple.exe</code> on Windows, <code>simple</code> on Linux or <code>simple.app</code> on macOS.</p> +<p >This tutorial used only a few of the many functions GLFW provides. There are guides for each of the areas covered by GLFW. Each guide will introduce all the functions for that category.</p> +<ul> +<li><a class="el" href="intro_guide.html">Introduction to the API</a></li> +<li><a class="el" href="window_guide.html">Window guide</a></li> +<li><a class="el" href="context_guide.html">Context guide</a></li> +<li><a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html">Monitor guide</a></li> +<li><a class="el" href="input_guide.html">Input guide</a></li> +</ul> +<p >You can access reference documentation for any GLFW function by clicking it and the reference for each function links to related functions and guide sections.</p> +<p >The tutorial ends here. Once you have written a program that uses GLFW, you will need to compile and link it. How to do that depends on the development environment you are using and is best explained by the documentation for that environment.
