I'm trying to compile the first exercise, triangles.cpp from the OpenGL redbook (the github source is here: https://github.com/openglredbook/examples/tree/master/src)
I have managed to compile this under Visual Studio 2015 by using CMAKE and building the entire thing into a Visual Studio 2015 file, and the code runs properly, but I'm trying to manually compile the file by using the Visual Studio command line compiler, cl.
So I tried:
cl triangles.cpp LoadShaders.cpp /I ...\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\include /I ...\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\lib\glfw\include
The ... has been included here to omit the directory path. Obviously, this hasn't been linked so the compiler gives me 28 undefined symbol (linking) errors.
Looking at the linker output in Visual Studio 2015 gives me this:
/OUT:"C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\bin\01-triangles_d.exe" /MANIFEST /NXCOMPAT /PDB:"C:/Users/Owen/Downloads/OGLPG-9th-Edition/OGLPG-9th-Edition/bin/01-triangles_d.pdb" /DYNAMICBASE "kernel32.lib" "user32.lib" "gdi32.lib" "winspool.lib" "shell32.lib" "ole32.lib" "oleaut32.lib" "uuid.lib" "comdlg32.lib" "advapi32.lib" "lib\vermilion_d.lib" "glu32.lib" "opengl32.lib" "glfw3_d.lib" /IMPLIB:"C:/Users/Owen/Downloads/OGLPG-9th-Edition/OGLPG-9th-Edition/lib/01-triangles_d.lib" /DEBUG /MACHINE:X64 /INCREMENTAL /PGD:"C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\bin\01-triangles_d.pgd" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /ManifestFile:"01-triangles.dir\Debug\01-triangles_d.exe.intermediate.manifest" /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:"C:/Users/Owen/Downloads/OGLPG-9th-Edition/OGLPG-9th-Edition/lib" /LIBPATH:"C:/Users/Owen/Downloads/OGLPG-9th-Edition/OGLPG-9th-Edition/lib/Debug" /LIBPATH:"C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\lib\glfw" /TLBID:1
Of which I believe the relevant libraries to link against are:
"lib\vermilion_d.lib" "glu32.lib" "opengl32.lib" "glfw3_d.lib"
So in the compiler I try:
cl triangles.cpp LoadShaders.cpp
/I C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\include
/I C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\lib\glfw\include
glu32.lib opengl32.lib
C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\lib\vermilion_d.lib
C:\Users\Owen\Downloads\OGLPG-9th-Edition\OGLPG-9th-Edition\lib\glfw3_d.lib
For which I continue to get a linking error. What am I doing wrong here/not including? I don't think this is a duplicate as I couldn't find anything talking about windows compilation on CL.
Here's the final compiler output and error:
