Tutorial 1 - Setting up an OpenGL Project in Visual Studio 2010

[@AdarshGupta035]

Code at 1:19 with comments - #include #include #include using namespace std; //Anytime the window is resized, this function gets called. It's setup to the // "glutReshapeFunc" in main void changeViewport(int w, int h) { glViewport(0, 0, w, h); } //This function gets called each the window needs to be redrawn //It is the "paint" method for our program, and is setup from the glutDisplayFunc in main void render() { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glutSwapBuffers(); } int main(int argc, char** argv) { //Initialize GLUT glutInit(&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DEPTH); //setup some memory buffers for our display glutInitWindowSize(800, 600); //set the window size glutCreateWindow("Hello, GL"); //create the window with title "Hello, GL" //Bind the two functions (above) to respond when necessary glutReshapeFunc(changeViewport); glutDisplayFunc(render); //Very Important! - This initializes the entry points in the openGL driver so we can //call all the functions in the API GLenum err = glewInit(); if (GLEW_OK != err) { fprintf(stderr, "GLEW Error"); return 1; } glutMainLoop(); return 0; }

[@unity_with_timoteo]

For who want the code used by him. Take below. #include #include #include using namespace std; //Any time the window is resized, this function gets called void changeViewport(int w, int h) { glViewport(0, 0, w, h); } //Here is the function that gets called each time the window needs. //It is the paint method for our program void render() { glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glutSwapBuffers(); } int main() {//initializate GLUT glutInit(&argc, argv); //set up some memory bfefers for our display glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT DOUBLE | GLUT RGBA | GLUT DEPTH); //Set the window size glutInitWindowSize(800, 600); //create the window with the title "hello, gl" glutCreateWindow("Hello, GL"); //Bind the two functions ,above, to respond when necessary glutReshapeFunc(changeViewport); glutDisplayFnc(render); //very important! TRhis initialize the entry point in the OpenGl DRIVER SO WE CAN //call all the function in the API. GLenum err = glewInit(); if (GLEW_OK != err) { fprint(stderr, "GLEW error"); return 1; } //Start up a loop that runs in the background (you never see it) glutMainLoop(); return 0; }

[@detectiveking1463]

i can't help myself to say that this is a really great tutorial.I had been looking for a long time for the opengl 3.0 tutorials,but no one explained it efficiently and sufficiently.thanks for sharing.

[@ajsamart2445]

definitely one of the best series on opengl out there on the internet now! thanks a lot jeffrey :)

[@AllanJeremy]

Finallyy..... Awesome stuff man. Well I have been searching all over the internet for recent opengl tutorials. Just by sheer luck I found ur channel. So thank you for the awesome videos. Please keep posting. U just earned a sub my friend :)

[@jeffchastine]

Thanks, Allan!

[@teymurg.r8860]

Jeffrey Chastine THANKS A LOT!!! You are the best!!!

[@Dejawolfs]

thanks for this tutorial! you can usually find tons of tutorials on openGL, but 90% just brush over briefly how to set up the IDE, which for me has caused hours of bashing head against the wall.

[@EddieVanHalen1977]

This tutuorial is just sooooo good. Bravo!!! And many thanks. You give us so much more confidence, and just getting so many people started on this like you have done here gets them past the most critical part, and that is the setup of all of it, so they can start programming.

[@BryanStetson]

Glut is an OpenGL utility that controls things like windowing for each OS (that way OpenGL can be OS independent). Since this was made in 2013 though, you can probably assume v 3.0 will be used

[@markusa3803]

Great Video! It works the same for VS 2013, too! The only difference is that it tells you directly that the .dll files are missing, what is pretty confusing. But, I just continued watching and found out everything, so really, thank you for this little masterpiece! :D

[@jeffchastine]

Hi - for the files, used the transmission zero site described in the comments below. The version of GLEW doesn't really matter, by the way. The last version I used was 1.9.0 I think. Also, it looks like some folks have been able to get it working in VS 2012 (see below). In general, keep the concepts of paths and linking in mind and then search around the interface until you find similar things.

[@yorchais]

Sadly i struggled with this .dll linkage for hours until this video. Thanks !!

[@jeffchastine]

Glad it helped!

[@frahaan]

What version of opengl are you using in your tutorial series?

[@hashamnaveed8554]

Thank You soo Much Jeffrey. Been looking for a solution since 4 days and finally found one. Thank you.

[@jeffchastine]

Glad it helped!

[@assassin132132]

its really smart to make tutorial about setting up without linking the code you use and the libary link so people would be sure to download the right thing and using the right code in order to program run and everything be ok

[@MinThantSin]

Thanks for the tutorial. Where can I download the source code?

[@jeffchastine]

The error means that, during the linking phase (which comes after the compiling phase), it couldn't find glew32.lib. In other words, it's likely a path issue. Make sure you the directory you specify has glew32.lib. Unless you're doing 64-bit compiling, I would avoid using the other versions - though others may want to chime in on that. Also (just a note), most of the time I'm compiling in Debug mode.

[@UdyawarRaghav]

I could get the free glut from the repository but it does not have library files that is needed to be linked. Can you help me on this

[@juniorsantosjerry4188]

Hi there I just test your code i have a visual studio 2010 ultimate and when i compiled your code the window start blink fast and disapear that is normal? thanks for tutorial

[@xilconic]

Thanks for the video, much appreciated. If there is one thing that always confuses the heck out of me when I've been out of C++ for quite a while, than it's configuring the external dependencies.

[@JitendraKumar21]

Not able to find glew32.dll Could you provide the link to download glew which includes .dll files.

[@NeilRoy]

I prefer to use Code::Blocks for this. It can be set up very easily, all the libraries are available for it as well and easily set up. What bothers me about this video, and it is good, is that Visual Studio didn't give you an error in your code. You are using fprintf() and the #include was not added to the file. This actually bugs me that VS let you get away with this. Code::Blocks gave an error, so I changed the fprintf() to cerr (or you can use cout) instead.

[@manetsaman9006]

How to change name of a project in the correct way? Do i just go the folder directory and change it there or in the Visual Studio itself?

[@froff922]

I get a compiler error when trying to run it. It says: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'glew32.lib' I did go into the lib folder in glew though, and it had 2 folders in it; 'Release' and 'Release MX', which both had 2 folders named 'win32' and 'x64' in them. Those folders had the .lib files in them. The ones under 'Release had 'glew32.lib' and 'glew32s.lib' in them, while the ones under 'Release MX' had 'glew32mx.lib' and 'glew32mxs.lib' Which of the four should I choose? Thank you!

[@zuberiabdul7941]

where can i find those minimum code for Gl....i dont know where did u paste from

[@shanninsalmon1697]

Can you please post some tutorials on how to create a library system using visual foxpro 6.0? pretty please. I do really need it.. please

[@jeffchastine]

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Visual Foxpro :(

[@tjking86]

I'm trying to run this project in code blocks. Is there anything that you can think of that might have to be modified

[@msoulforged]

Thanks! One question; if I use Nuget package manager for glew and freeglut, do I still need to do additional wiring for linker and other stuff?

[@jeffchastine]

Sorry - I don't have any experience with that. Maybe the community can answer.

[@msoulforged]

Jeffrey Chastine NP, I checked myself and yes, in VS2012 you can just use Nuget Package Manager to install freeglut and glew in a few clicks.

[@PanZheng]

it would be great that you specify which version of OpenGL it covers.

[@BryanStetson]

This is a great tutorial very concisely explains this convoluted process

[@minhly650]

I am using VS 2012.When I accessed folder Debug in folder Project as you did.I didn't see anything inside.Even if there weren't ".exe","ilk","pdb" in folder Project.Could you help me with this problem ? Please respond me as soon as you can.I need this deperately.Thanks in advance.

[@jeffchastine]

If the program runs, you should have an .exe somewhere. Don't worry about the pdb or ilk file (because VS 2010 automatically generates several files).

[@jeffchastine]

I haven't played around with VS 2012 + OpenGL yet, but I'm glad to hear that the video is still (somewhat) valid :)

[@CortezVantrila]

Where did you get the code for the main file?

[@jeffchastine]

I think I've posted the link to the code in later tutorials, so maybe try the next tutorial.

[@brandx96]

I do not have an executable in my project directory at all. Why is it not there? I appreciate the help.

[@jeffchastine]

That's strange! Well, if it runs, you have to have an .exe somewhere! One thing to realize is that you have a Debug and/or Release folder, so maybe it's in one of those?

[@brandx96]

I got it working, no worries.

[@brandx96]

It was a while ago, and before I moved into college and on a different computer so I unfortunately forgot. Sorry! :(

[@jeffchastine]

Sorry about my fast talking! I know some Spanish, but I have to practice :) As far as that link, I don't know who posted it, but you can probably remove the spaces and dashes and get it to work.

[@dhidhi1000]

I will follow this tutorial, but using GLFW 2.7.9. Every one says glut is old and bad, and freeGlut doesn't have many recomendations, although every tutorial on openGL seems to use it, even the official openGL Book.

[@lolololololololol11]

Please put the links to freeglut and glew in the description.

[@AhmedSaeed-pp2ii]

there is no div folder in my C Driver... How can i will complete ? note : using visual studio 2013 professional

[@jeffchastine]

You need to manually make the C:\dev folder. Realize that it can be called whatever you like, so it's just a personal preference. Either way, make sure the path names (i.e. C:\dev\freeglut) match where you put your libraries.

[@UdyawarRaghav]

Where can I find the freeglut and glew source code and library files to link it in the application

[@MrLemple]

Everything works accept for the end section. When i run my program the black box only appears for a second and then disappears. Any help with this please? :)

[@jeffchastine]

Did you try running it in Debug mode or Release mode? (F5 vs. CTRL-F5). It almost sounds as if you're getting an error, so not sure what's causing that.

[@RemixEdits0]

I don't know where your going with these tutorials but, but the compiler setup a pain in the ass, and those who want low boilerplate your video explains how to get these things running. Could you do a crystal space tutorial, would be awesome. the website uses horrible visual studio compiling images

[@sendpieplz4867]

where? I download the new freeglut and can't the lib folder... from what website did you download your version... I did go to the official website and there is no lib folder...

[@Efka159]

Well I downloaded your code(tutorial 4 shaders) included glut and glew added dll files in binary, but at first I got warning about fopen function, then after I added #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE I got debug assertion failed error. It says somewthing about (stream!=NULL) . Any idea?

[@jeffchastine]

You must be using VS 2013 (I would guess?), but I haven't seen this error. Maybe the community knows?

[@joseponce3006]

Im new to opengl but seeing as you are trying to open a file and getting a stream!=null error it could be that the file is never actually opened for some reason, did you try checking for the file pointer not to be null after you fopen it and before you use it

[@gordonfreemanq]

This is exactly what I needed. Cheers!

[@Livestock17]

Excellent. Very helpful. Thanks.

[@omarhussein803]

Man , I haveproblem with debuge projects when I run any project ( massege :- project out of date . would you like to build it (yes , no ) when I click yes the project doesn't start . Can you help meee ?! :(

[@jeffchastine]

Maybe try cleaning the project (?) It's one of the option in the menu system. If it's not that, maybe the community can help?

[@omarhussein803]

all project make that and I delete it and make it again ( nothing happend )

[@omarhussein803]

Jeffrey Chastine all project make that and I delete it and make it again ( nothing happend )

[@calebkierum6871]

Hey their! For the longest time i have been trying to find a tutorial that taught this and was re creditable! I finally got openGL working. I just have two questions for you. 1. When using glut and glue is the project freely distributable? Are their any royalties or licensing involved? 2. Is their a function that simply sets a pixel at a certain point with a certain color? Thankyou so much for doing more then just shoving the code in our faces! Im excited to dig into what makes 3d gaming work!

[@jeffchastine]

I'm not quite sure about the licensing of freeglut or GLEW, but I would guess they are distributable. You'll have to check their docs. As far as setting a pixel, I'm not aware of a function that does that. You might try working in Normalized Device Coordinates (NDCs) which range from -1 to +1 and then convert to screen space. For more info on NDCs check out my later tutorials (it might be in "coordinate spaces", but I don't remember).

[@TheProgrammerSociety]

Hey,where I can get codes from this tutorial.I downloaded Code.zip but I cannot find Tut1 folder ,there are only Tut(4,6,8,13,14,15,17) :( ???

[@jeffchastine]

Alem Sehic From what I remember, I used code from one of the later projects. The point of this tutorial wasn't the code, but just to get something to compile.

[@shjmyself9051]

Thanks for your source code of this OpenGL tutorials. But I can't find the "r" file. Without the "r" file I can't practice the code. Can I have it ?

[@jeffchastine]

I'm not sure I understand. I don't think there's a "r" file in the project.

[@shjmyself9051]

Jeffrey Chastine I am sorry . the "r" is a reference parameter that present the reading file. And the actual parameter are shader files. I get it now. Sorry for my English. I am from a secret country. Thanks again.

[@zachchang263]

I did it step by step and then compiled. But finally it gor wrong and appered: "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'freeglutd.lib'" How could I solve this problem?

[@GoblinBlaster3000]

張誌安 If you're still having this issue, I wrote a post about it on the OpenGL forum being's I ran into this same issue today. www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/186328-error-link-1104?highlight=freeglutd

[@tikityler1386]

Jeffrey Chastine Can you add this to the video description? That would be helpful. I was about to ask the same thing till I saw this comment. If you could add the download links to those files you used as well. FreeGlut and Glew. There are many versions and some of them though labeled the same don't have the same files as your video shows.

[@kylebrechin6012]

After compiling successfully, the program can't run because glew32.dll is not on my computer. However, I manually placed it into Windows\System32

[@jeffchastine]

Be careful about versioning when you do this; libs/dlls must match, and if you update your version, it can be easily forgotten where you put your dlls. For those who are new to this process, I'd recommend manually putting the dlls into the executable folder (probably /Debug) first until you get comfortable with it. I only say this because it's a good idea to "practice" setting up Visual Studio :)

[@henkhenkeinstein4737]

Thanks for uploading Can you plz put the download links in the discription?

[@mathunt1130]

Sadly this method doesn't work in visual studio 2013. I keep getting freeglut.lib cannot be opened all the time. Secondly, I think that you have to have the relevant files inside the project and not outside. I have looked EVERYWHERE for this particular error which is: LNK1104 cannot open file freeglut.lib

[@jeffchastine]

That means it can't find freeglut.lib. Do a manual search for it (to make sure you have it) and then make sure your (linker) path is set correctly. Though under certain circumstances it makes sense, you shouldn't copy libs/headers into your project.

[@mathunt1130]

In the end that is exactly what I had to do along with the .dll files as well.

[@samahmalibari5949]

From where can I get the code on 1:19 mins ? :)

[@javatutorials3198]

cse.spsu.edu/jchastin/courses/cs4363/resources/Code.zip

[@jeffchastine]

Well, so long as you can get a triangle on the screen, I'd say use whatever you like!

[@jeffchastine]

This appears to be the way you set up your project. It's saying that it can't find freeglut.lib, so make sure you right-click on the project, go to the configuration, find "Linking" and set the path to the libs. I hope that helps!

[@MrOriginalMix]

What is all the code copied in the beginning? where did it come from??

[@arturpiasta8361]

Hi, I downloaded freeglut from official website, and i don't have the "lib" directory in "freeglut" directory. Where can I find it? thx

[@zuberiabdul7941]

another problem is that after debug it it shows this massage >------ Build started: Project: hellowword, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(147,5): error : Required file "" is missing. ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

[@jeffchastine]

Hmm - I'm not sure about this one. I would guess that the project wasn't an "empty" project when it was set up, but honestly, I'm not sure! Maybe the community could chime in on this one.

[@weswickwire1843]

I keep getting the error file cannot open input file freeglutd.lib. In my download of freeglut there isnt even a file of that name. Ive looked everywhere and cannot find a solution.

[@javatutorials3198]

Wes Wickwire I would suppose that you have downloaded a different version. I recommend downloading it from the Transmission Zero website.

[@weswickwire1843]

Java Tutorials I downloaded it form that website. I followed the readme that came with it and did everything they say to. Not sure if its cause im on windows 8. Bit I kind of overrode it by going into the freeglut_std.h file and explicitly changing it from freeglutd.lib to freeglut.lib. Obviously not the optimal way to fix it but its the only way i could get it to work. Thanks for the quick response though!

[@GoblinBlaster3000]

Wes Wickwire Hey Wes, I don't know if you finally figured this out but I ran into the same issue today. I made a post on the OpenGL site if you're still running into this issue. www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/186328-error-link-1104?highlight=freeglutd

[@Belthaa]

Thank you very much for this video! :)

[@jeffchastine]

+Belthaa My pleasure!

[@z2155]

so, we have to do this everytime we create a new project? :(

[@jeffchastine]

Yep - which is why you need to understand it :) However, there *are* ways that you can configure your environment to do this automatically, but I don't recommend that.

[@joshuaheathcote2116]

My FLIPPING .exe isn't there, I ran a simple program at the start to make sure it was there, created the project, ran at the end and puff, its gone, error, can't find .exe What the hell is going on

[@jeffchastine]

I haven't heard of this before. If something ran, then an executable has to be *somewhere*, unless there's a script that's cleaning up resources. Sorry, I wish I had something better to contribute.

[@princeoflight612]

The cause of that is probably: 1.Your antivirus could have false-identified your .exe file as a virus and deleted it. Most modern antiviruses(ESPECIALLY Kaspersky) can cure/delete/quarantine suspicious files silently without waiting for the user's confirmation. To fix that, just add your development directory to the "exception" list of your antivirus. 2.There is a worm that modifies .exe files to viral ones(so it can recover even after getting nuked by the antivirus). Do a full scan and cure .exe files manually if needed. 3.It might as well be a Visual Studio thing with it properly saving the .exe only after you save the project manually. Haven't checked it myself though, as I mostly use CodeBlocks.

[@hippyy86]

and where do i download the opengl files??

[@jeffchastine]

In the part where you copy .dll files to debug folder, I do not have any .exe nor .ilk files in it. Only .pdb file. How do I fix it?

[@marekgrencstein7215]

I managed to fix that and now everything works as yours when I remove following code: GLenum err = glewInit(); if (GLEW_OK != err) { fprintf(stderr, "GLEW error"); return 1; } I got that from your next video.

[@StefanoTrebeschi]

I'm freaking out trying to figure out why I keep getting the error message "Error 1 error LNK1104: cannot open file 'glew32.lib'" Any idea?

[@jeffchastine]

It's likely because it can't find glew32.lib during linking. Double-check the path in VS.

[@StefanoTrebeschi]

Now it's working! Yes, it was my fault, I didn't notice I wrote down the wrong path. :( thank you

[@teymurg.r8860]

Stefano Trebeschi How did you do it?

[@StefanoTrebeschi]

right now I dont have visual studio on this machine. I remember that my problem was the path: I had to select the one containing the library, but I selected the parent folder. (dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb) :(
