You have no idea how much this tutorial helped me. I was struggling to find a good tutorial for this EXACT thing and you did it perfectly and clearly.

Great simple and easy tutorial. Thank you!

You can also change the file type to be glad.cpp as well to avoid adding the extra path to the args list

It is so clear! Thank you so much!
I was waiting for it the whole year. Would you be teaching how to use VSC set up for 3D with shaders, where we add more separate files??
You made my day!

hi, I am having trouble getting the file to run using the first code, the error message I keep getting is:

~/main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'GLFW/glfw3.h' file not found
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

1 error generated.

Build finished with error(s).

any recommendations for how to solve? Thanks :)

@rosxnb THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this all out for WEEKS, since I dont have admin privileges on my school Macbook so I cant install libraries at root. I circumvented it by simply just having Homebrew on the desktop, and other than that, followed your tutorial exactly. I dont usually 'like' videos ( because I'm lazy & usually dont love the content on YT, but you earned it!. Thank you!
