Creating OpenGL 3.2 Context
« on: November 07, 2009, 01:15:01 pm »
Hi,

As the topic says: How do i create an OpenGL 3.2 Context with SFML. I saw in some tutorial[1] that for SDL you would just have to call SDL_GL_SetAttribute(). Is there an equivalent way for doing this with SFML?

There's no way to do it with SFML 1.5.

In the latest SVN revisions of SFML 2, you can do it like this:
Code: [Select]
sf::ContextSettings settings;
settings.MajorVersion = 3;
settings.MinorVersion = 2;

sf::Window window(mode, title, style, settings);

Hi to all,
I'm new to SFML, but I'm trying it, and is a very nice library.
I need to create an OpenGL 3.2 context (for working with the core specification). I've downloaded and compiled SFML 2.0, but I can't find this class:
Code: [Select]

sf::ContextSettings settings;

Thanks!

Laurent

Well, it is there.

What does "I can't find this class" mean? Do you have a compile error?

Yes, 'ContextSetting' is not a member of 'sf'.
Note, I include only Window.hpp.
Thanks.

The class is sf::ContextSettings, not sf::ContextSetting.
I use the latest build of SFML2

Yes, is my mistake to write to the forum.
But I don't understand where is the problem.

This is not an old / wrong version, this is the trunk which is the future SFML 1.6. SFML 2 is a separate branch (branches/sfml2), so that I can maintain both at the same time.
