Why am I getting these errors?
error: 'GL_VERTEX_SHADER' was not declared in this scope
error: 'glCreateShader' was not declared in this scope
Code:
GLuint vs = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
And yes, I do have the includes to glut.
What does
glGetString(GL_VERSION)return?CreateShaderis not in GLUT but OpenGL 2.0. If your “includes to glut” are not includinggl.hfor some reason or your GL version is less than 2.0, the headers will not declare it.I’d also check your
gl.hto see ifCreateShaderis actually declared there.Edit: This OpenGL header version thing seems to be a general problem in Windows. Most people suggest using GLEW or another extension loader library to get around it.
