Redefinition errors about opengl-boilerplate HOT 10 OPEN

Could you share the error log?

from opengl-boilerplate.

Here is a zip file with my Xcode error log and the altered glew.c file.
I commented out the redefinitions and the compilation all went well.
glew.zip

What's bothering me is that it normally wouldn't be necessary to do this and it should all work out of the box in my opinion.

I did some troubleshooting for this on Linux. See: nigels-com/glew#66

The easy fix to advance external/glew to version 1.13.0, rather than 1.10.0. The longer story is that glew itself is using a git repository of the OpenGL specs, but the default behavior by GLEW is to use the latest version of the specs, not those that corresond to 1.10.0 (and work!).

I'll file a merge request or two for opengl-boilerplate.

Nice project, BTW, I think I'll start using this, now I know about it!

For what it's worth, my opinion is that it would be wiser for opengl-boilerplate to use a numbered release for both the glew and glfixes repositories (for a pre-generated snapshot from a .tgz) rather than top-of-tree of either of those.

Yeah pulling in the submodules seems like a good idea but when either of those change, it could break the project like in this case. Glad you found what the issue was. Chopping away the redefs was a pain in the ass.

GLEW can share some of the blame for this. GLEW itself it using git to track the OpenGL specifications, but is fetching the most recent version by default, which is normally what's expected. I'll educate myself some more about submodules, and if GLEW ought to use that rather than Makefile scripting.

Hi @nigels-com, thank you for checking this out. Going to merge your PR tonight 👍

I'm experiencing an error with a similar cause on OSX. Using the currently pinned version of glew causes make to fail while building glew because of an unknown type, PFNGLGETVKPROCADDRNVPROC. Updating glew to 2.0.0 appears to fix this issue.

My build fails because of PFNGLGETVKPROCADDRNVPROC as well on OSX. Though updating glew to 2.0 doesn't fix it for me. Weird?

Okay now it worked after following the steps here nigels-com/glew#66 (comment). I guess I hadn't cleared some cache entirely.
