Man, you are a life saver. I went online for an easy download, and all I got was confusing trash that zigged and zagged. You went in simple and to the point.

[@BillyCouvillion]

I think this may be the first OpenGL how-to video where all the files were there, I followed the steps, and it worked just like in the video. Good job.

[@Vo0idsEmbrace]

I agree

[@5starcode]

Thank you so much man, This video worked PERFECTLY there have been so many videos where they skip steps or add random files and dont tell us but this was clear concise and helped me alot. I went through alot of pain prior to this video. Thank You.

[@cx6894]

had to go through like 20 fking videos to find this one that actually works with visual studio 2022 and windows, thanks a bunch!

[@phoenixamaranth]

Right?! So freaking stupid

[@giacomocali6853]

same

[@charcoal8379]

You know the main reason I've never got around to learning OpenGL is because most videos made the setup process very tedious. But this guide has helped me that first wall. I'll keep you updated on what I end up doing with OpenGL. Thanks a lot 👍👍

[@lancemendenhall1273]

I am amazed. I have spent hours trying to decipher other so-called tutorials to get this set up. With you I had it working in 10 minutes. Thanks!

[@Kerem-sm2oc]

BRO I LITERALLY LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET IN THE PAST 15 DAYS AND USED 3 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, 3 DIFFERENT AI'S AND YOU GAVE ME THE SOLUTION THANK YOU

[@topkek_]

This the only video give the right way to setup the openGL library.
I have been trying for many days with other videos this the only one that help me in right setups

[@Midnight29052]

Omg thank you man ive been going at this for a while but no youtube vids show me how to actually open opengl

[@benedictosei3767]

Thank you. I've been questioning my sanity for the last 2 days because I couldn't follow through other tutorials.

You`re just a magician that saved my day

[@hddr_v3]

Thank you very much, I’ve been trying to connect graphics for 2 days, this video worked

[@d_ar_k_sta_r1551]

Thank you so much! Everything else was confusing. This was concise and functional.

[@CelestinoMachado-k3x]

Thanks!!
Really simple and easy to understand great video!! :)

[@НикитаСеменов-и7ю]

Thank you, i finally found a good video about setting up and OpenGL.

[@civ20]

This is misleading. It does not setup your project for using OpenGL. It allows us to acces GLFW which is a wrapper that give us quality of life functions for window/context management etc. You can not actually draw anything on the screen with this seyup as that requires more includes and setup.

[@btissamnaciri4495]

Is there any video that can help with this matter?

[@sal0minh0]

@@btissamnaciri4495 i want to know too

[@pokemonfanmario7694]

IIRC glad is where you actually setup the graphics pipeline, if not one of the core parts of OpenGL. It's library is where you get things like binding the viewport and whatnot.

[@rollorodrigo11]

OMG! You are the best!!! come to Brazil and i will give you a hug s2

Hey thanks man, it worked perfectly for me in no time

[@hvasomhelst]

thank you so much sir it worked so smoothly

[@ivanovcharovv]

Good tutorial, but I would only suggest to have people move their include folder within the solution directory and use $(SolutionDir) instead of a hard path. Otherwise, great video!

[@k0cteJl]

Thank you from Russia!♥

[@adityaanantjadhav]

my vs code does not have options like project and others, and my vs code interface is also very different .

[@deajoel1060]

thanks omg it better what i saw for last month

Nice tutorial BTW

[@ryoukboy1010]

[@Thysta]

Thank you! Worked without hassle.

[@skaffen]

Works perfectly (2024) nice job

[@hobsido7655]

thank you so much for your efficiency 👍

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

You can just leave the {AdditionalDependencies} default and not have to worry about manually importing the Windows libraries. You just need to point Visual Studio at the OpenGL/GLFW libs and you're all set.

[@fruitymcfruitcake9674]

Actually I think you do; I didn't do this and it came up with a build error, then, without fixing anything except that, I retried and it worked. It probably depends on circumstances; to those reading, if you didn't do this and you're getting LNK errors, do it just to check.

[@LionsinofStraight]

How can I point VS at the OpenGL/GLFW ?

[@king_james_official]

hi, might i ask where the lib files are? like the opengl32 or shell32 files

[@trunghieu6071]

thank you so much brother, i this video is extremely helpful

[@bennood2031]

the only issue with this is that you might of wanted to include how to include the directories in the project source rather then a desktop folder. Reason is portability and it'll cause some issues down the line when people need to move things around. Otherwise solid video.

[@azardeys0]

DUDE!!! you saved my life!!!!!

[@shigam8149]

I swear why are it always those indian guys. Thank you my friend

[@matteoverardo8005]

Please keep making videos on opengl or other software for plotting lines, points, triangles, etc. Thanks.
I am a Matlab user and I do not know how to plot in C++.

[@archygames625]

very good guide, thank you bro

[@ioanrus6032]

I finally found a video that was helpful. Thank you!

[@troubledtom5250]

by using macros we can make it independant from the system when we are adding paths e.g just make folders inside the project like lib, dir folder and use macros for initial path setting upto the project like mainly $(solutiondir)\lib\include doing it like this we can share the project to anyone and they can carry on with the work without having to resetup everything.... well thats just my opinion in doing things idk if it helped, anyways your video taught me how to setup an opengl environment i'm gonna learn that now bye

[@bored9306]

TYSM, FINALLY A TUTORIAL THAT WORKS

Thanks! That worked for me! But what do I do next? Can I delete this code to write my own opengl code? Or do I have to keep it all the time to make the program work?
