One user running Snow Leopard wasn’t able to compile my code. After an hour I finally found the real reason. The compiler option to include the OpenGL framework was -framework OPENGL. After changing it to -framework OpenGL it worked. It also seems to work under earlier versions of MacOS X.
How are capitalizations handled here? Can I just use -framework OpenGL and be safe or is there a case where it has to be -framework OPENGL.
It probably just depends on whether you are using a case-sensitive file system such as those commonly found on Linux (as opposed to a case-preserving file system, such as HFS+, as commonly used on OS X). If you always use the correct capitalisation (i.e. matching the framework name on disk) then you should be OK. Since in this case it’s
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.frameworkthen it should be-framework OpenGLin your build options.
