window closes immediately

so im trying to create a window using glfw, but it doesn’t stay open. any help is appreciated

the code i have right now:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GL/glfw.h>

int main(){
	//init glfw
	if(!glfwInit()){
		fprintf(stderr, "failed to init glfw
");
		return -1;
	}

	//creating the window...hopefully
	glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_FSAA_SAMPLES, 4); //4x antialiasing
	glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MAJOR, 3); //olpengl version 3.3
	glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
	glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE); //excluding old openGL functionality

	if( glfwOpenWindow( 1024, 768, 8,8,8,8, 32,0, GLFW_WINDOW ) ){
		fprintf(stderr, "failed to open GLFW window
");
		glfwTerminate();
		return -1;
	}

	//init glew (GL extension wrangler)
	glewExperimental = true;
	if(!glewInit()){
		fprintf(stderr, "failed to init GLEW
");
		return -1;
	}
	glfwSetWindowTitle("test av glfw og openGL 3.3");

	glfwEnable( GLFW_STICKY_KEYS );
 
	do{
		// Draw nothing, see you in tutorial 2 !
 
		// Swap buffers
		glfwSwapBuffers();
 
	} // Check if the ESC key was pressed or the window was closed
	while( glfwGetKey( GLFW_KEY_ESC ) != GLFW_PRESS &&
	glfwGetWindowParam( GLFW_OPENED ) );

	return 0;

}

ok, i changed this code:

if(!glewInit()){
	fprintf(stderr, "failed to init GLEW
");
	return -1;
}

with this code:

if(glewInit() != GLEW_OK){
	fprintf(stderr, "failed to init GLEW
");
	return -1;
}

and it seems my problem is that glew does not initialize propperly, any ideas why?

it seems that glew is complaining about a “missing GL version”

how can i fix this?

Hi,
Could u copy and paste the error reported on your console?

i have already posted the error message: “missing GL version”

i have been digging around and most of the people getting this error message seems to be caused by no opengl context, but i have already created a context, havent i?

this seems to be caused by me trying to use opengl version 3.3
do i have to install something to be able to develop using it?

May be your hardware does not support opengl 3.3 core profile. Which hardware are u running this on?

im not sure, but it looks like it supports 3.0, but not any “minor” versions (not sure how to explain it)

i can not use 3.3, bu i can use 3
i can not use 2.2, but i can use 2

have i done anything wrong with the VERSION_MINOR code? or does my hardware simply not support “minor version numbers”?

EDIT: how can i check if the hardware supports it?

You can use OpenGL Extension Viewer which will list all of the supported versions of OpenGL on your hardware.

ye, it seems my pc dont support opengl versions past 3.0 (it partly supports 3.1, but not fully)

oh well, i can still use shaders (glsl) and stuff in opengl 3.0, ye?

Yes you can however the shaders will not have recent features.

i can live with that. thanks for all you help!
