OpenGL - how to make it work

[ravenheart]

Hello,

I just want to learn some modern OpenGL using Linux and SFML. I am trying to use the OpenGL 4.0 tutorial i found on http://antongerdelan.net/opengl/.

Now i am trying to compile the program and get like for every Opengl-Command:

cpp:18:26: error: ‘glGenBuffers’ was not declared in this scope

.

I do not know how to proceed from here. Any ideas?

I could post the whole program code if needed and maybe the linker options too.

• Install libglew-dev using your package manager.
• #include <GL/glew.h> before anything SFML related.
• Write your code.
• Compile and link against SFML and GLEW using -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lglew <other stuff here>
• ? ? ?
• Profit.

I would personally recommend open.gl. I used it myself with no prior knowledge of OpenGL and its perfect for beginners (It even covers setting it up with SFML).

Hmm. It now compiles. At least i get a binary. But i get an error:

glGenBuffers not resolved and many other things too.

I am linking GLEW GL and GLU beside all the sfml stuff.

You know... showing us some logs would help... Like... the full log of it building including the errors at the end.

Fuck me - es sieht so aus als ob ich nur noch ein glewInit() gebraucht hätte. Gab sonst einen Speicherzugriffsfehler.

The curse is the only English part of your post

For others: looks as if only a glewInit() was needed, without it there was a memory access violation.
