In this video we're going to be loading all of the OpenGL functions that are accessible to us from our GPU drivers, using a library called GLEW. This will allow us to use the modern functionality of OpenGL in our application.

How do I add the preprocessor definition if I am using g++ to compile my program?
@@neillunavat while compiling at the -D flag in the g++ command to add a preprocessor definition
or simply do #define SOMETHING_IDK
I went to college for computer programing and we had a course for OpenGL. Not once did our teacher tell us what GLEW was for, he just said download it from the college's server and add it to our project. You simply explaining what it does and its purpose has helped me better understand it. You actually saying its name and thus learning the W stands for wrangler has helped me understand this better.
My college professor didn't even tell me to download GLEW. He just said to complete assignment lol
@@sohailape i have question, if i were to open a new project, i would need to do all the linking again right ?
@@4tehath yes
@@DagreenApple thank you sir
yep, that's college/uni alright lol
Just one VS tip. You don't need c/p piece of code if you move it up or down. Just select piece of code, keep ALT and UP or DOWN key, and move that peace through code.
THANK YOU. Yall need to listen up to this guy
Keyboard shortcuts ftw
Thank you!
Haha, how did i not know that.... Been using VS for many years. Thanks for that one, mate!
@@arne1881 The keyboard shortcuts I use: alt tab, alt backspace, ctrl backspace, alt up and down, shift click, click + shift click (mark places without carot, shift click), ctrl a, ctrl c, ctrl v, windows e, windows d, windows p, (windows tab is a thing), ctrl w, ctrl q, windows key 1-x where x is the amount of things on your taskbar whether open or not), ctrl / (comments depending on editor), shift home, shift end, shift page up, shift page down, ctrl delete, and probably more
I was using this tip on ATOM Text Editor, but instead of ALT it used the ctrl + up/down. When tried it on VS thought it doesn't exists as a feature lel
For those wondering, at 12:39 is the VisualAssist extension feature for searching methods, that can also be seen in Cherno's "My Top 5 Visual Assist Features" video at 6:04. In visual studio I think the closest you can get is the ctrl+T.
Do you have the entire EA Orchestra making music for your series?
69th like lol
yeah I think so
How do I add the preprocessor definition if I am using g++ to compile my program?
@@neillunavat A preprocessor definition can also be added by using #define. For example, you can do on the start of the file (before #include ) #define GLEW_STATIC
is this a joke? im not being sarcastic or anything im genuinely wondering if this is a joke or not
Love these videos so far. If you take these into depth and really cover it all (Cameras, Lighting, 3D), etc, etc then it will hands down be the best series on the topic out there, and that's saying a lot because there are some REALLY good tutorial series on this subject, so keep up the great work! Also ignore my comment on the last video, I thought I was writing it from this one, and I see this one was only uploaded a day ago, so it's quite clear you're still working on these :)
I really love how you explain the errors and solutions, thank you for that. It's really informative.
Great video, as always. I just can tell you again and again how much I like all the in depth stuff like showing how to reverse engineer libraries etc.
And I just want to mention you forgot to link the glew homepage for all the lazy guys inside your description :D
but I can't download and install it for you, sorry me
Thank you Yan. These videos are wonderful. As a point for those running on Mac hardware (in Windows) when choosing the linking folders, be sure to use the x64 folder instead of the Win32.
I love how you can just get a coffee cup and chill watching these videos while typing the fun stuff out... Love the energy. I know am like 7 years late to this, but keep it going man! Love the content! So much to learn from you!
I have watch many of your video's , and clearly you are the best to explain the errors and how to fix them. I enjoy your channel, have learnt so much from you. thank you.
Loved the in depth look on opengl. Learned a lot of things i had no idea about. Keep going and i'll definetely support you on patreon.
That is really cool
Very thorough! Really enjoying your speaking and video style.
I have always wanted to learn OpenGL and C++. After many crappy videos I found your channel and this sires on OpenGL, and the way you explain things is amazing! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hi, Luke. Did you learn OpenGl? Maybe made some projects?
@@user-ps6yl7kl3e нет
Got to say your videos are too awesome. You are explaining every single bit of details. Thank you.
Awesome, very little dead air, excellent pace keep on rocking
Great videos. Im learning a lot. I love all the guitars too, well taken care of. I'm a programming guitar player as well. Subscribed.
oh crap, i can't stop staring those guitars!
After following this tutorial series almost all the way to the end, I decided to make my own project from scratch again, using the tutorials as a basis for the new project. I got so many linker errors and couldn't figure out what they were from searching on the Internet. Then I re-watched this and remembered that I had to define the GLEW_STATIC. I missed that when I side-by-side compared the two projects to each other. So if you're making a new project, don't forget this define!
OMYGOD this is exactly what i did wrong! thank you so much.
wtf right when iread this comment the video got to that part
what if i define it and the linker still acts as if I hadn't. Like, it gives the same error?
Ohh ya , Now I learned through the hard way 🤣
@@anastasiapedan7496 l am facing the same problem bro
Awesome video as allways, and nice explaination keep it up love your videos.
Pretty neat that you focus on not just putting all the stuff like a cook repice and take your time to explain most of the stuff that probably a non-cpp programmer doesn't really know :)
This is a very good series on OpenGL. Learnt alot of important points.
This tutorial is amazing and you are really good at teaching !! great job sir !
Thank you man, your series are the best
Your keyboard sounds so nice. :D
It's just the laptop's keyboard.
It's Dell XPS 13/15.
Excellent tutorial, thanks Cherno!
Learning this with VS Code, GCC on Linux! I appreciate your style of teaching. (By the way, I used to use windows and man VS sets up projects weirdly.)
same im wondering if we need to do this too or is this video just for Windows OS users.
@@vectoralphaAI This video has some Windows/visual studio specific things, but on Linux you will still likely be using GLEW for OpenGL development, and this video explains what GLEW is and why it is used. It also discusses linking and aspects of compiling that are useful on any platform, but demonstrated here on Windows.
Thanks for your help, bro. The video is very useful and I really enjoyed when I was watchining it!
Thank you for your work. I learned something and am better today than yesterday!
*When you read way too many tutorials before and you see someone including opengl stuff after glfw
Dude, I already know where this is going.
So in depth. Awesome that you show errors. Awesome video
this video makes me feel like I am stupid.
"what I was doing until now?"
T-T
well am sure you are smarter now :)
@@jeffreytawiah2752 i'm not :(
First, you speak very fast, which is very good!
Second, you show/explain things very clearly, which is VERY very good!
Third, maybe I missed this, but why would you build a 32-bit application in this day and age? Memory limits, memory fragmentation, and lack of registers are major hindrances in 32-bit.
Better explanations about OpenGL of TH-cam! Plz continue with dat great series.
Thank you for the quality content!
I am learning Linux and OpenGL. I found a guide to set up OpenGL. It then had some code to cut and paste. The instructions showed how to compile the code. I then run the program and a white square appeared. Job done.
Hi! I just discovered your channel, looking for resources for learning OpenGL (currently in College Computer Graphics). I tutor Computer Science and some Math at my campus, and I also employ the learn by example/mistakes and DIY technique. I feel like making the mistakes and then correcting them or problem solving to correct them on the spot creates better programmers.
Anyway, I love this series so far. It's so far, superior to the Lynda tutorial. I'll stick around on this channel. Thanks! =]
You helped me so much!! many thanks!
Great stuff. Thank you.
Amazing video thanks a lot !!
Awesome video, I learned a lot, thanks for it :3
BTW What the hell is that outro song? I can't find it anywhere.
Great video. - What is your resolution on your laptop? - Even when watching your video at 1080p the text/code still looks blurred.
Well produced video.
Greatly appreciate for making this video! I just have a small question: when I attempt to compile, I get a warning that "cannot open or find PDB files". How can I solve that?
this background music! TA-DAAAAAA !!!
Crazy.
Thanks amd for giving me functions to use! Hahaha
I had a ton of errors in the actual glew.h file even tho I hadn't touched it so I took a break, got some air and came back only to find that now the thing is completely fine. Patience is key.
Why the background music is so epic. I feel like I'm about to get into combat against my GPU
God, that was a verbal attack on my brain
Lmao you're not alone
@@lodostic1015 I'm here with u
THANK YOU SO MUCH
That end music crept up on my left shoulder and I actually got scared and flinched. xD help
this guy deserves 2 million subs
Dude, how did you learn all this stuff? Of course great video, thanks
Oh man, that comment about linking statically whenever you can surely raised some hackles somewhere, lol.
Cherno Thanks for the video series.
Any resource on VTK ?
11:50 I had 230+ errors at this stage which had me a little worried, but they were all resolved on the next step.
Great video! Can you explain in the future what LNK4098 and LNK4099 warnings are? I keep getting them the first time I build something - on subsequent buildings, they just don't show up and everything looks fine
I believe you are referring to a warning that just says you don't have the file used for debugging which for glew you don't. This shouldn't cause any long-term issues and just mean if you debug you cant inspect glew functions. I could be thinking of something else. If you get those, do a cleaan and rebuild of project.
@@learnsoftwareengineering6975 I have got this warning (4098), and once I used glewInit() I got an error saying that it was an unresolved external symbol or something.
@11:10 Q:"The order really does not matter...".
TIP: The order really matters if you want to succesfully cross-link for multiple operating systems without headaches. For example in the Linux OS for latest versions of gcc-ld linkers, clang, object linking will fail if the function symbols dependency graph will not match the exact ordering, which is fine because the architecture imply a better time performance at the link time. Let's no go further and talk about circular dependencies....
My brain melted, I just learned macros yesterday, I am bad at C++, It is literally nerdy looking code. C# is kinda more concise and clean ya know!

Hey, The Cherno can you please make a tutorial for DirectX/Direct3D.
PLEASE!
can't find a good tutorial anywhere else and you are the best youtuber that does this kind of stuff
THANK YOU!
This video is hilariously balls-to-the-wall through the roof. I prefer that and appreciate it, mind you, but still...holy crap. I'd also like to mention that I've never met a single soul who's idea of doing something "just for fun" was creating linker errors. No one. Ever.
...but I still consider that to be a positive bonus...
For Linux users to compile the program with glew you can use "g++ ProgramName.cpp -lglfw -lGLEW -lGL -o ProgramName" as most Linux distributions already have glew and glfw installed.
Where those marvelous sounds are coming from ? I really need to find them ! Please share us
Hi chreno,you r the god of the cpp
oh my god. i Leaaaaaaaarned so much . thank you
Great video!
I have an OpenGl 4.6 question
Atomic Counters work fine when I use integrated graphics but when I use my nvidia geforce 920m running latest drivers
I get random values from my buffer when I execute my compute shaders!
So frustrating and I have not found anything regarding this on the internet
Following along, but on Linux and using just Make for compiling, so kind of flying by the seat of my pants. Man is this a pain in the arse to set up. I hope this is the last library linking adventure. xD
Hello, very nice tutorial.
I download and use source code and to compile it I use CMake. Now, I need to know whether it is right or do you recommend any other program or it.
(CMake doesn't actually compile it just makes .sln file for VS which can then be loaded in VS and be build)
lol 'We don't talk about that..."
:D I finished the tutorial XD
this is hard af idek what else to say
@@abdulwahabjag thx alot bro i actually didn't give up it is just that it was kinda confusing but i kept trying again and again and it worked it is a very happy moment when your code works after trying very hard and thank you again :)
@@abdulwahabjag yes I will gl to you too on what ever you're working on rn I hope u will be successful
I have always wondered, where did you learn c++ and OpenGL? and what resource, other than your videos, is really good for learning this stuff?
thx sir!!
Looks, good, but it would be nice if the videos would be numbered ;)
Thanks for the tutorial
Exaخtly 😂😂😂
thank you so much
I absolutely love your videos, please don't stop. If you do you will make about 200,000 people very sad
For anyone who might getting an unresolved symbol error from the linker, make sure your preprocessor line is written like this "GLEW_STATIC;_MBCS;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)" somehow I got mine messed up when entering the text.
quick comment on GLAD: i like it more than GLEW since i can just copy/paste the two source files directly into my project and there's no library or dll to ever worry about.
of course, you never have to touch GLEW once you've done what you need to do, so the difference is, at most, a few minutes of effort.
Not really, glew is quite buggy, glad is comparatively uch less buggy
yeah, since posting this comment I've not even touched GLEW once. i'm just so satisfied with GLAD's whole custom environment thing it's got going on.
i have a GLAD setup that's just OGL 3.3 without any extensions, OGL 4.5 with no extensions, and OGL 4.5 with literally ALL of the extensions.
that level of customization will never be matched by GLEW. i advise never using it again.
Can you give me a quick description on how to set up GLAD for Visual Studio / C++?
Can't really find anything online except for the generator that needs a ton of parameters...
You get the zip file from the generator, and then add the contents of it to your porject, and then compile
Hans Müller it's pretty easy. Just set the version of opengl you want on the generator site (can't remember the url). Then ignore pretty much everything else. I think the only other options are for extensions, which are an advanced feature of opengl.
After you get your download from the site, it should give you a file index with a couple of source files and a zip file which just contains the source files again.
Put the three source files in your project with the rest of your source and simply #include "glad.h" and you can use opengl as normal.
Glfw should have instructions on how to use GLAD on it's website.
What is the name of the Colour Theme you are using for Visual Studio? I want to get it for VS Code in Linux, but could not find anything similar :?
Could you make a tutorial for the g++ compiler?
what are those compiler intrinsics? should i know more about them?
When I opened my directories all the .lib files I included last time were replaced with a "different options" thing and the I had to reenter everything in.
My macOS supports till OGL 3.3 but It's getting only 2.1. How to force to use the this version?
Dat hair
i got nervous when i didn't get that linker error lol
are you gonna go a vulkan tutorial ?
If I add GLEW and GLFW by source code, should I also shove them in a 'Dependecies' folder? I mean it doesn't really really matter but I want to know how you do it.
vcpkg could save all this hardwork of linking manually
"1.0 was kind of a bit weird, we don't talk about that." 1:33
yeah boy !
So First 3 Episodes are just about Setting up Visual Studio for OpenGL
"I'm not even talking about modern ones, I'm just talking about anything newer than like 1997" PLEASE GAHAHA
What resources did you learn this from?
Is it just experience or is their a specific book I should check out?
Experience.
the intro: AngelThump
My word, that was hard to get running on linux using CMake. I figured it used CMake to generate the GNU Makefiles, but it was a pain to get it to link correctly. For those using CMake, this is what I did (I know nothing of what I am actually doing on CMake. So this is what I came up with after many hours on the internet. NB the dependencies folder is a folder with git submodules of each project's git sources):
set("GLEW_INCLUDE_DIRS" dependencies/glew)
find_package(GLEW REQUIRED)
if (GLEW_FOUND)
include_directories(${GLEW_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_libraries(${GLEW_LIBRARIES})
endif()
add_subdirectory(dependencies/glfw)
# though I think I should link GL first, it didn't cause a problem for me. CMake probably saw the issue
link_libraries(GL)
link_libraries(glfw)
nicu!! But the link for GLEW is missing in the description.. :)
yay, got everything working! "4.5.0 NVIDIA 382.94" was my opengl version output.. ^^
ΜrCookie If I’m correct you might be able to update your drivers, I think they support 4.6 with the latest release. Not that it matters all that much, but it’s always good to keep your drivers up to date.
Plot twist, they are not both static libraries. One is an import library. (though it seems a bit large for an import library)
I wish more people would talk about development on Linux. I had to do a bit more work. For one I ended up having to use a makefile rather than adding dependencies through the IDE. I also had to do some manual linking sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.2.1 /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.2.1 because when I compiled my libraries some of the links were not linked to my /user/lib.
Thats my only complaint other than that great vid.
I have use Netbeans on linux, to do this in the past, it is almost the same, it uses a makefile internally.
I also use g++ and makefile here on windows, it gets painful but you learn a lot. Just google a lot
This is for windows lol.
Yeah what you do is compile glew via `cd glew-2.1.0 && cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ./build/cmake && make -j4` which you won't need the -G probably. This will generate a makefile with cmake and then you can either make install or push the bin and lib and include directories into your project build path.
Thank you! This helped!
i feel ya man. Im on mac and using mac but not Xcode can be a bit of a struggle to find resources sometimes. Thank god for homebrew. the other piece I had to add to get mine running was -framework Cocoa -framework OpenGL -framework IOKit -framework CoreVideo . but got there in the end
@@robertoprince6804 Sure, but when you really want to share code and a project a proper cmake build configuration is worthwhile. That way everyone on the team isn't monkeying about with different IDE settings, you just type make on the CMD/terminal and it makes. No IDE needed.
