OpenGL with SFML (dumb question)
« on: December 22, 2011, 07:24:11 pm »
dumb question: do I have to download something extra to use OpenGL with SFML? I try to use OpenGL code like

Code: [Select]
glClearDepth(1.f);

in my project following 1.6 tutorials with 2.0 but I just get 'identifier is undefined'

You must include the OpenGL headers.

I have SFML/Window.hpp included, which in the tutorial it says includes the opengl headers as well.

Well this is not 1.6 now is it? Despite that, it's a bad practice to ignore includes just because you expect another to include it for you.

Okay, so i need to include the opengl headers separately now.

Um - what are the headers for opengl? I tried

Code: [Select]
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>

but it came up with a ton of compiler errors.

I get linker errors with openGL functions when using the opengl code. What library directories do I need to include?

On Windows, you have to link OpenGL32.lib.

Linking that solves most linker errors except:

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gluPerspective@32

This one is from GLU (glu32.lib).
