Question

I am currently trying to draw an object using VBOs.
In the Cube-Class I came up with to test the functionality of VBOs, I create the VBOs like this:

//Vertex
glGenBuffers(1, &m_bufVertex);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufVertex);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 6*4*3*sizeof(GLfloat), vertex_data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
//TexCoord
glGenBuffers(1, &m_bufTexCoord);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufTexCoord);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 6*4*2*sizeof(GLfloat), texcoord_data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
//Index
glGenBuffers(1,&m_bufIndex);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,m_bufIndex);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,24*sizeof(GLuint), indices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

I already double checked if the data is in the buffers e.g. like this (the vertex buffer is binded at that time):

GLfloat* test = (GLfloat *) glMapBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_READ_WRITE);
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 6*4*3; i++)
    cout << "Value " << i << " = " << test[i] << endl;

So the data is where it is supposed to be, so the problem seems to lie within the Render-Function. The Segmentation-Error happens when glDrawElements() or glDrawArrays() is called.
Here is the code:

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_texture);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
// some translation, currently fixed, just testing code
glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, -200.0f);
glRotatef(30.f, 1.f, 0.f, 0.f);
glRotatef(30.f, 0.f, 1.f, 0.f);
glRotatef(30.f, 0.f, 0.f, 1.f);
// enable client states
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
// set pointers
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufVertex);
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufTexCoord);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufIndex);
// just error check to see if something went wrong previously
GLenum err = glGetError();
if (GL_NO_ERROR != err)
    cout << "GL: " << err << " - " << gluErrorString(err) << endl;
glDrawElements(GL_QUADS, 24, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);
// disable state and pop matrix
glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
glPopMatrix();

I assume I am using the pointers not right or glDrawElements(), but I don’t know what.
Some more informations:
The code is compiled on MacOSX Lion (OpenGL2.1) using the GNU-toolchain and GLEW.

I know am defining every vertex instead of just 8…

I had the exact same problem. The problem is that SFML internally uses
glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY) and
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
so you need to disable those if you don’t use them yourself.

Or you could use sf::Window instead of sf::RenderWindow, since it doesn’t set any OpenGL state internally, which I chose to do.
