* GLFW C library source is included and built automatically as part of the Go package. But you need to make sure you have dependencies of GLFW:
* On macOS, you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode (`xcode-select --install`) for required headers and libraries.
* On Ubuntu/Debian-like Linux distributions, you need `libgl1-mesa-dev` and `xorg-dev` packages.
* On CentOS/Fedora-like Linux distributions, you need `libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel libXxf86vm-devel` packages.
* On CentOS/Fedora-like Linux distributions, you need `mesa-libGL-devel`. To build for X11, you'll need `libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libXi-devel libXxf86vm-devel` packages; and for Wayland you'll need `libxkbcommon-devel wayland-devel`; if you're using Gnome with Wayland, you should also install `libdecor-devel`.

I don't think you should explicitly call out Gnome here. Libdecor solves decorations for more systems and it's not really about the developer's experience but the user running the released application. Maybe just write that it is an optional and recommended dependency for improved window docorarions on Wayland?

* On FreeBSD, you need the package `pkgconf`. To build for X, you also need the package `xorg`; and to build for Wayland, you need the package `wayland`.
* On NetBSD, to build for X, you need the X11 sets installed. These are included in all graphical installs, and can be added to the system with `sysinst(8)` on non-graphical systems. Wayland support is incomplete, due to missing wscons support in upstream GLFW. To attempt to build for Wayland, you need to install the `wayland libepoll-shim` packages and set the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/pkg/libdata/pkgconfig`.
* On OpenBSD, you need the X11 sets. These are installed by default, and can be added from the ramdisk kernel at any time.
