Make the compiling step more explicit

[philippefutureboy]

Hi!

I rarely use cmake/make on my UNIX distributions, and as such I have limited knowledge to how to use said programs. I am a web dev trying to learn WebGL through OpenGL, and the formulation of the step "Compiling the library" on the page Compiling GLFW is a bit obscure.

I suggest that rather than the current:

## Compiling the library
You should now have all required dependencies and the project files or makefiles necessary to compile GLFW. Go ahead and compile the actual GLFW library with these files, as you would with any other project.

...

The following be used:

## Compiling the library
You should now have all required dependencies and the project files or makefiles necessary to compile GLFW. You can now compile the GLFW library with these files. You can generally do so with 

\```
cd <glfw-root-dir>
make install
\```

Cheers! 👍

Hi, @philippefutureboy, the actual process is explained in the section before, using cmake: http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile_guide.html#compile_generate

mkdir glfw-build
cd glfw-build
cmake <glfw-root-dir>

So, if you downloaded the library to /home/username/glfw, you can make something like:

cd /home/username/glfw
mkdir build
cd ./build
cmake ..
make

The cmake will generate the Makefile based on the CMakeLists.txt that is on the parent directory (that is specified by the ..). Then, after the Makefile is generated, you can build using make. The built library will be in the current directory build/.

Fair point! I suggest then that the use of make be made explicit in the http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile_guide.html#compile_generate section with:

mkdir glfw-build
cd glfw-build
cmake <glfw-root-dir>

being supplemented with make at the end of the code snippet.

Let me know,
Cheers ✨
