In Xcode or Visual Studio, I was able to compile and run my codes successfully when I put my txt files within the same directory where the codes were located. These txt files had glsl codes in it for shading. However, now I want to run my files in the command line with g++. Just like in XCode, I put all my files(including the txt files) in the same directory, and ran the command
g++ -o Animation glad.c Animation.cpp -lglfw.3
The executable file 'Animation' is made in the same directory where all the other files were, but when I run it, I get the following error messages.
ERROR::SHADER::FILE_NOT_SUCCESFULLY_READ
ERROR::PROGRAM_LINKING_ERROR of type: PROGRAM
ERROR: Compiled vertex shader was corrupt.
ERROR: Compiled fragment shader was corrupt.
The render window does appear, but nothing is drawn since the program could not read my txt files.
Here are parts of the codes that can help you understand my problem. This is my Animation.cpp code
#include "Camera.h"
#include "Shader.h"
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>

}
//Where the error happens

shader.use();

What would be the reason why g++ cannot read the txt files from the same directory? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
