I am trying to get a project working with SDL2, assimp, opengl, and glew and cannot get glew to link properly (almost a duplicate but a more comprehensive question and answer, I think).
My qmake .pro file :
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
HEADERS += \
objloader.h \
display.h \
eventloop.h \
shader.h \
texture.h
SOURCES += main.cpp \
objloader.cpp \
display.cpp \
eventloop.cpp \
shader.cpp \
texture.cpp
INCLUDEPATH += "C:/code middleware/glew-1.12.0/include/" \
"C:\code middleware\glm\\" \
"C:\code middleware\SDL2-2.0.3\include\\" \
"C:\Users\smart_000\Desktop\assimp\include\\"
DEPENDPATH += "C:/code middleware/glew-1.10.0/bin/Release\Win32/" \
"C:\code middleware\SDL2-2.0.3\lib/x86/" \
"C:/Users/smart_000/Desktop/assimp/bin/" \
"C:/code middleware/glew-1.12.0/lib/Release/Win32/" \
"C:/code middleware/glew-1.12.0/bin/Release/Win32/"
LIBS += -L"C:\code middleware\SDL2-2.0.3\lib\x86" -lSDL2main -lSDL2
LIBS += -L"C:/Users/smart_000/Desktop/assimp/lib/" -lassimp.dll -lzlib
LIBS += -lopengl32
LIBS += -lglu32
LIBS += -L"C:/code middleware/glew-1.12.0/lib/Release/Win32/" -lglew32 -lglu32
The linker errors I am getting: linker errors
What I have tried already:
- Checking file path problems ('/' and '\' kind of stuff and spaces in file names etc.)
- Linking dynamically and statically (Yes, I defined
GLEW_STATICwhere I needed to, and I linked to -lglew32s and such) - SDL stuff: messing with and defining 'NO_SDL_GLEXT' above it
Making test programs and trying to link it with just g++ (I used the -static flag where I should have when I tried the static one and placed the linker flags after the files that needed them). These errors were the same as the qt ones minus the warnings.
Putting the glew source code directly in my project and building it (exact same errors) --- The issues were eerily similar and made no sense to me. I had commented out the qmake stuff and re ran qmake; I wasn't aware I could get linker errors like that if I put it in my project like I did.
- Running qmake after my changes, lol
- Moving 'LIBS' and 'DEPENDPATH' around and added 'CONFIG += opengl' in desperation
- Messing with debug and release builds.
What I haven't tried:
- Moving libraries and things to the system path
- MAKING SURE THE LIBRARIES WERE BUILT FOR MINGW!
The relevant code(I know it's terrible; I was just hacking around when I encountered these issues) :
"main.cpp" :
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <objloader.h>
#include "display.h"
#include "eventloop.h"
Display* display = NULL;
void callback()
{
std::cout << "yay" << std::endl;
display->Swap();
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
UShortVector indices;
Vec3Vector vertices;
Vec2Vector uvs;
Vec3Vector normals;
bool success = ObjLoader::loadObj("cube.obj", indices, vertices, uvs, normals);
display = new Display();
EventLoop eventLoop;
eventLoop.SetLoopCallback(&callback);
display->Create("yay");
eventLoop.Start();
return 0;
}
"display.h"

{
if(!vertexFile)
{
perror("could not open the vertex shader file");
}
if(!fragmentFile)

}
}
GLuint programID = glCreateProgram();

}
glShaderSource(vertShader, vertShaderSource.size(), (const GLchar**)&vertShaderSource, NULL);
glShaderSource(fragShader, fragmentShaderSource.size(), (const GLchar**)&fragmentShaderSource, NULL);
// doesn't do anything at the moment, I know. It should still compile though.
return programID;
}
