build with --opengl_renderer flag error

    I ve tryied to build with no options for the first time, but working build was very slow. I've noticed that my videocard isn't used. So I've try to build it with --opengl-renderer flag and gets error "SDL_GL_SwapBuffers was not declared it this scope.....". So what's wrong with it?

    My system is Ubuntu 18.04

    Opengl is not supported anymore.

    Your build should have been the same speed as the official release, unless you used --debugging. That would make it a debut build, which has no optimizations and is a little slow, meant for debugging only. (If you are debugging, still use this arg anyway)

    I've found an answer. It should to be builded with --release flag

     

    without this option FPS is ~3x slower

    Edit: post deleted. I thought --release was always on by default, but it's not, you need to specify it manually like you did
