Arch Linux中没有OpenGL 3头文件

Question

I'm trying to compile a very simple “Hello world” OpenGL 3.3 program using FreeGLUT. In all the tutorials I found, they include an header “gl3.h”. The problem is, I don't have such header file.

$ ls -l /usr/include/GL/

In /usr/include/ I only have GL , GLES and GLES2 . There is no GL3 as I found in some tutorials.

I'm running on Arch Linux x86_64 with a NVIDIA graphic card ( nvidia closed-source driver).

Here is how I included OpenGL and FreeGLUT APIs in my program:

#define GL3_PROTOTYPES 1
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/freeglut.h>

But the code doesn't compile:

$ g++ -pipe -g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -I. -IHeaders -c Sources/Main.cpp -o Temp/Objects/Main.o 
Sources/Main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
Sources/Main.cpp:107:59: error: ‘glVertexAttribPointer’ was not declared in this scope
Sources/Main.cpp:108:30: error: ‘glEnableVertexAttribArray’ was not declared in this scope
Sources/Main.cpp:114:35: error: ‘glUseProgram’ was not declared in this scope
Sources/Main.cpp:138:31: error: ‘glDisableVertexAttribArray’ was not declared in this scope

It seems I included the OpenGL 2 headers! But, again, I didn't find any OpenGL 3 headers on my system, I looked at the Arch repository and AUR, unsuccessfully.

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

You don't need a GL3.h, the GL3.h just got rid of all deprecated features. So just include gl.h instead of gl3.h . Downloading and manually copyieng into /usr/include/GL/ is not a real solution, it works yes, but what happens if the add to the mesa package the gl3.h ? You're package manager will find conflicts. Better you add the gl3.h to your project or into your home directory and add it to the $PATh or use the -I flag.

Answer 2

If you grep for glVertexAttribPointer, glEnableVertexAttribArray, glUseProgram and glDisableVertexAttribArray, you will find that they are included in glext.h and glew.h . Try to include one of these headers and compile again.
