I've been stuck on how to do this setup in Xcode for forever. Thank you so much!

if your cellar folder isnt in /usr/local it is probably in /opt/homebrew

I’m rarely satisfied with tutorials of this sort but his one was fun to watch and informative, thank you!

at first brew was telling me to use a git hub log in the terminal. Then i ran it again and brew updated then it was ok. I also ran into an issue where i couldn't get to those folders from Xcode. I found a command that makes all hidden files visible and they still weren't showing. So I went into the finder and they were there so I copied the cellar folder to the desktop then went back into Xcode and just used the folder on the desktop that worked out. Thanks for the vid!

Nice tut! Although, I got "Build Failed" and "GLFW/glfw3.h" and similar for glew.h. I solved it by adding the glew.h and glfw3.h to the main project folder and then changed includes to:

// GLEW
#define GLEW_STATIC
#include "glew.h"

// GLFW
#include "glfw3.h"

I bought your book and I can't wait to read it!

thanks for this tutorial! I've been looking everywhere online that teaches how to make a window on a mac using C++, and all I've been finding is basic c++ syntax tutorials

How 'modern' is this tutorial series? I understand macOS supports OpenGL 4.1. Is there much of a difference between OpenGL 3.3 and 4.1?

Thanks for the video!
After I typed 'brew install glfw', it show that ' No available formula with the name "glfw" '. Could you please tell me what should I do?

Thanks

Was watching this tutorial and there’s few more things that I’ve done:
Target - architectures -excluded architectures - type arm64 for both debug and release
Enable hardened runtime: set to ‘No’

[jean-malikelmi]

On my line 25 (same as tutorial) i get an error ( Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x368)) and it underlines glfwGetFrameBufferSize

I don't know what to do to fix it
