Why is texture() returning a float and not vec4?

OpenGL

I have a very simple GLSL shader that works fine on my desktop, but is crashing when I try and run it on my laptop. I have no idea why - my laptop seems to be expecting the texture() function to return a float.

The error is

 
Fragment shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: 0:12: 'texture' : no matching overloaded function found 
ERROR: 0:12: '=' :  cannot convert from 'const float' to '4-component vector of float'
ERROR: 2 compilation errors.  No code generated.

The shader is:


uniform sampler2D u_tex0;
uniform float u_opacity;
uniform int u_type;

varying vec4 v_texCoord;

void main()
{
    //Circle centered on origin
    float dist = u_type == 0 ? v_texCoord.x : length(v_texCoord.xy);
    vec2 src = vec2(dist, 0);
	vec4 col = texture(u_tex0, src);
    gl_FragColor = vec4(col.r, col.g, col.b, col.a * u_opacity);
}

Looks like I need to specify texture2D(), and not just texture().

That’s because you didn’t specify a shader version. Your shader looks to be 1.10/1.20 style, rather than 1.30+ style. Either way, you should always specify a shader version.
