i get this error

thank you all for any reply
"i hope this is the right forum for this topic "

EDIT :OPS i didn’t notic that :eek:

It seems to be the right forum, but edit your post so that line breaks are present … no really readable right now.
Edit : thanks, it is better now.

seems like the types aShaderManager and aShaderObject are unknown to the compiler. are they defined in “…/cwc/aGLSL.h”? is the path correct?

second problem, your program doesn’t look like a windows prog. windows progs need a winmain function:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

and you have to tell your compiler that you want to create a windows (not a dos) application. if you are using borland just use the “-tW” flag

bcc32 -tW test.cpp

aShaderManager and aShaderObject are defined in aGLSL.h mmmmm i do what you say but nothing

is there good tutorials for GLSL “Beginners” with samples

Does your project include (are you compiling) the c or cpp file that contains the implementation of the aShaderManager class?

There error looks like the implementation for those functions is the missing link. Hey thats punny…

mmmm ok i want know where i can find GLSL files “*.lib *.dll *.h”
please i need it

UP … :rolleyes:
