Hello,

I am new in opengl. I want to use the GLFW lib to display images, and play small video.

**Platform : Vxworks.**

So, GLFW is compatible with Vxworks?

Thank you,

Mohit Rai

I don’t think GLFW is compatible with vxWorks. vxWorks is a closed sourced commercial operating system, so it would be difficult to support.

Additionally, if you want to play video you need to be able to decode and upload frames to textures and then display these - it might be easier to do this by using Qt which supports vxWorks and has in built support for displaying multimedia like images and video.
