'glCreateShader' was not declared in this scope?
c++, compiler-errors, glut, opengl
Solution
What does `glGetString(GL_VERSION)` return?
`CreateShader` is not in GLUT but OpenGL 2.0. If your "includes to glut" are not including `gl.h` for some reason or your GL version is less than 2.0, the headers will not declare it.
I'd also check your `gl.h` to see if `CreateShader` is actually declared there.
Edit: This OpenGL header version thing seems to be a general problem in Windows. Most people suggest using GLEW or another extension loader library to get around it.
Problem
Why am I getting these errors? ``` error: 'GL_VERTEX_SHADER' was not declared in this scope error: 'glCreateShader' was not declared in this scope ``` Code: ``` GLuint vs = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER); ``` And yes, I do have the includes to glut.
