Thanks I got this working on a chromebook 💀

[@commandprompt7171]

Thank you so much, I was having trouble at using glfw, and I was relying on glut, I also learned how to use Cmake, I didn't know how useful was

[@matthewexline6589]

Very awesome and helpful video, thank you! Also I love the sense of humor that's constantly being injected into the video 👍🏻

[@bandaloo7776]

this is the friendliest and most concise video on the subject! thank you so much

[@GetIntoGameDev]

You’re welcome!

[@mohsenalbo5533]

The amount of appreciation that i have for your content is unimaginable, thank you so much for the videos I can't recall anybody else doing the same as you at the same level of quality, also do you mind creating a roadmap for game development? I want to see it from your view

[@GetIntoGameDev]

Thankyou, I really appreciate it! A roadmap sounds fun, I'll think about it and see what I can put together. Thanks again!

[@ianjones1968]

Excellent tutorial. Got me up and running on Mint. Had to "apt install cmake" separately and a VS Code restart to get the cmake tools working

[@cristianlanga7941]

I dont understand anything of what u did but it worked for me so thank alot

[@user-ni9tf5yr6m]

I like what you`re doing so much. You fulfill my perfectionist`s needs of creating programs launched by one command. Thank you
It`d ideal to make cross-platform config for OpenGL 🤯

[@nxt6341]

Thank you, was almost gave up on trying to learn opengl alltogether

[@daerlnaxe]

Thanks a lot !

[@shardulnsiddhesh]

Excellent video! Thanks a lot!

[@ssj5omar]

Excellent video!

[@pcsatish]

Thanks for covering the path less trodden! 👍

[@GetIntoGameDev]

Thanks! When I get working on my C++ OpenGL series I'll be supporting it in all operating systems, so this will definitely be making another appearance.

[@pcsatish]

@@GetIntoGameDev Looking forward to it!

[@inkiralet-yt]

I spent the last few hours making mistakes until I found this video.

[@SkyFly19853]

You mean getting along with the Penguin?... 😏

[@philtoa334]

Nice .

[@sammaazani2553]

Thank you very much, I have been trying to set up a project on my linux laptop for months and had never succeeded. The only solution I had found was to install a virtual machine with windows 7... Anyway small point, on fedora I had an error due to glad, I solved it by changing in the glad.c file "#include

[@GetIntoGameDev]

Thanks! It definitely is frustrating sometimes, I can’t count the number of times I gave up on projects 🤣

[@stevemcwinboi914]

If you are having the #include issue: if you've put the glad.h file and the glad.c file in the same directory, rewrite the #include to #include "glad.h" and that should fix it.

[@GetIntoGameDev]

That’ll work! Just be aware that it’s mixing third party code with your own code, undermining the point of having a dependencies folder, but I’ve done it in a few of my projects too.

I'm subscribing.

Thank you!

You’re welcome!

[@soolydooly1234]

hi, where did you get the glad files?

[@GetIntoGameDev]

They can be downloaded online via glad's generator site, or they should also be in my repo: github.com/amengede/OpenGL-for-Beginners

[@soolydooly1234]

@@GetIntoGameDev Thanks!

[@divyanshjain7999]

I cant find the glad.h file?
Ubuntu 20.04

[@GetIntoGameDev]

Glad files should be freely available online, I also have them in various repos: github.com/amengede/OpenGL-for-Beginners/tree/main/week%201%20hello%20window/finished/dependencies

[@Ab_Irato]

Well, there is something I am a bit confused about, do you still need to link OpenGL::GL once you use glad?

[@GetIntoGameDev]

I believe OpenGL::GL is still required, as all glad does is fetch procedures. Having said that I may be wrong, try it out!

[@Ab_Irato]

@@GetIntoGameDev Thanks for the response and the excellent video. Will try it out!

[@asifurrahman7512]

you have one mistake thats waste my 2 days time which is you make CMakeLists.txt file in my_project not in src 😑😑😑

[@GetIntoGameDev]

It's not meant to be in the src folder though, the point of cmake is to keep the source code, third party dependencies and build folder all separate from one another. CMakeLists.txt is meant to sit in the project folder and manage them all.

Windows Tutorial PLS :c

[@GetIntoGameDev]

My OpenGL with C++ series has an explanation of how to do it in its first video now!

[@diamond32tutoriales49]

I got the error #include I put this in my cmake target_include_directories(OLG2D PUBLIC src/Dependencys/includes/)
but when running the program it says Segmentation fault (core dumped)
edit: I already solved it, it was an error in my code
#include
int main(void)
{
GLFWwindow* window;
if (!glfwInit())
return -1;
window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);
if (!window)
{
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
glClearColor(0.8f, 0.25f, 0.25f, 0.25f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
}
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
