Compiling with OpenGL

  • FeynmanLogomaker     28th Feb 2015 Member 0 Permalink

    I've been kind of curious as to how well TPT performs compiled with OpenGL, but when I try to compile with --opengl, it compiles all the individual files properly and then crashes and burns on the final step. Any idea how I could fix this?

     

    Here's the compiler log(it's after the individual files were all compiled properly). I think the error might be because the g++ -o compilation isn't ran with -lGL or something, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

    Each of those reference errors looks like an OpenGL function - maybe you need to add -lGL to when each of the files are compiled, or when the binary itself is linked together...

    Seeing config.log could help too. OpenGL is weird and even if you have the lib you might not be able to compile. I recommend just not using it, it's really buggy and not really supported anymore.

    Edit: Are you compiling using --opengl-renderer? If so you also need --opengl
