Which package to install to get header file glad.h?
I am trying to compile this example https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/Hello-Window:
#include <glad/glad.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
// ...
I have installed libglfw3-dev
but I am still missing the glad.h
header file. A search on packages.ubuntu.com gave no results. There is a github page for glad
but it does not provide glad.h
as far as I can see.
Solution 1:
Thanks to @dc37 for the comment on the webservice! Here is what I did: Go to the webservice and download the required files:
Check the "local files" option and click on the "Generate" button in the lower right corner,
download the glad.zip
file to the current directory and extract it.
Create a test program test.cpp
:
#include <iostream>
#include "glad.h"
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
void framebuffer_size_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int width, int height)
{
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
}
int main() {
glfwInit();
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
//glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(800, 600, "LearnOpenGL", NULL, NULL);
if (window == NULL) {
std::cout << "Failed to create GLFW window" << std::endl;
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
if (!gladLoadGLLoader((GLADloadproc)glfwGetProcAddress)) {
std::cout << "Failed to initialize GLAD" << std::endl;
return -1;
}
glViewport(0, 0, 800, 600);
glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback(window, framebuffer_size_callback);
while(!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
}
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
Compile it (remember to install libglfw3-dev
first):
g++ -c glad.c
g++ test.cpp -o my_test glad.o -lglfw -ldl
Run it:
$ ./my_test
(It shows an empty window on the screen)
