Problems with Shaders in OpenGL

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20722756

Question

I'm trying to use stuff like glShaderSource in C++. Visual Studio says that functions like glCompileShader or glCreateProgram dont exist. I use FreeGLUT to include OpenGL. Does anybody have an idea how I can fix this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

On windows, anything beyond GL1.1 must be loaded via the extension mechansim. The most convenient way to do so is by using a GL loader like glew.
