I am trying to compile a very basic OpenGL program that draws a cube using Vertex Array Buffers passed to vertex & fragment shaders
My code is tested & runs perfectly on OSX, however it does not compile on Windows 7 machine. I have the nVidia GeForce 540M chipset and have updated my drivers to the latest
I import the necessary headers using:
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <Windows.h>
#endif
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <Glut/glut.h>
#else
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#endif
however, I get compilation errors in Visual C++ 2010 express saying: ERROR: identifer ‘xyz’ is undefined, where xyz is one of:
glCreateProgram(), GL_VERTEX_SHADER, GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, glAttachShader, glLinkProgram
and others. stuff like
glClearColor, glEnable, glBlendFunc
however is fine and has no compilation errors.
So, why are these symbols undefined? what imports am I missing / doing wrong?
HERE is a complete paste of my code if it would help at all. The includes are in the “shaderUtilities.h” file
Thanks for your help in advance
