OpenGL with C++ 1: Intro and Setup

omg i started taking coding seriously about 2 weeks ago, taught myself c++ and had been trying to learn openGL, but have been at a road block for so long trying to just set everything up. all the resources i found were either in visual studio not vs code, didn’t work for me, or just confused me even more. i got to the point where i had a window, and some stuff but finding this serious is truly a god send, it’s like exactly what i’ve been looking for

I just want to say this is the only tutorial that has worked for me. Thanks.

your channel has everything I want to learn, in the right ways

Windows user here. I installed mingw-w64 via MSYS2, added it to PATH, and used its pacman interface to install gcc, gdb, cmake, and glfw. I of course still needed the glfw3, glad, and khr headers as shown in the video, but in terms of binaries, everything worked immediately. I did pass "glfw3" instead of "glfw" as the argument to target_link_libraries, however. Hope this is helpful!

Incase you still get the error for glfw library not found, edit the cmake and add this "find_package(glfw3 3.3 REQUIRED)"

in between PRIVATE lib)

glfw)"

I'm here to say that using batch files on Windows will work. I did this entire tutorial because CMake wasn't working. Below is my `build.bat` file if you want to copy.

@echo off
if not exist dist mkdir dist
g++ -Idependencies -Llib -o dist\YourProgramName.exe src\*.cpp src\glad.c -lglfw3 -lgdi32 -lopengl32
.\dist\YourProgramName.exe


Note that some things should be changed based on your actual project.

Numerical Analysis book on top of a drum pad, I think someone's learning Danny Carey.

Hi,
First of all thanks a lot for your videos.
If this course covers image warping using opengl. I recently started opengl in my project my work is for using image warping using open gl for AR HUD.

This is why no one uses C++, it's super annoying with the libraries. It's just error after error after error... to infinity...

I have an error when following at 18:11, "GLFW/glfw3.h: No such file or directory" coming from gcc. As another thing, my glfw doesn't have any folders with "lib" in the name. Can you help? EDIT: FYI I am using Windows

I'm using Debian 12 with gcc amd64, and get error as: [build] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw: No such file or directory. FIX: sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

Hello, I'm setting up this in my windows. I have done all the steps. But at the end when I tried to run .cpp file it gives me error that "-lglfw cannot find". All other libraries linking are working fine. but I can't able to resolve this error. What to do?
