• Excellent tutorial. Got me up and running on Mint. Had to "apt install cmake" separately and a VS Code restart to get the cmake tools working

• Thank you, was almost gave up on trying to learn opengl alltogether

• I spent the last few hours making mistakes until I found this video.

• Excellent video! Thanks a lot!

• How to create a camera circuit for video pass through on the Oculus quest 2

• Well, there is something I am a bit confused about, do you still need to link OpenGL::GL once you use glad?

• Thank you so much, I was having trouble at using glfw, and I was relying on glut, I also learned how to use Cmake, I didn't know how useful was

• I got the error #include <glad/glad.h> I put this in my cmake target_include_directories(OLG2D PUBLIC src/Dependencys/includes/)
  but when running the program it says Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  edit: I already solved it, it was an error in my code

  #include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

  int main(void)
  {
  GLFWwindow* window;

  if (!glfwInit())
  return -1;

  window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL);
  if (!window)
  {
  glfwTerminate();
  return -1;
  }

  glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);

  while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
  {
  glClearColor(0.8f, 0.25f, 0.25f, 0.25f);
  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

  glfwSwapBuffers(window);

  glfwPollEvents();
  }

  glfwTerminate();
  return 0;
  }

• Very awesome and helpful video, thank you! Also I love the sense of humor that's constantly being injected into the video 👍🏻

• you have one mistake thats waste my 2 days time which is you make CMakeLists.txt file in my_project not in src 😑😑😑

• If you are having the #include <glad/glad.h> issue: if you've put the glad.h file and the glad.c file in the same directory, rewrite the #include <glad/glad.h> to #include "glad.h" and that should fix it.

• Thanks a lot !

• I cant find the glad.h file?
  Ubuntu 20.04

• hi, where did you get the glad files?

• Thanks I got this working on a chromebook 💀

• Excellent video!

• I like what you`re doing so much. You fulfill my perfectionist`s needs of creating programs launched by one command. Thank you
  It`d ideal to make cross-platform config for OpenGL 🤯

• Windows Tutorial PLS :c

• I dont understand anything of what u did but it worked for me so thank alot

• Thank you!

• Thanks for covering the path less trodden! 👍

• I'm subscribing.

• Thank you very much, I have been trying to set up a project on my linux laptop for months and had never succeeded. The only solution I had found was to install a virtual machine with windows 7… Anyway small point, on fedora I had an error due to glad, I solved it by changing in the glad.c file "#include <"glad/glad.h>" to "#include "./glad.h" "

• this is the friendliest and most concise video on the subject! thank you so much

• The amount of appreciation that i have for your content is unimaginable, thank you so much for the videos I can't recall anybody else doing the same as you at the same level of quality, also do you mind creating a roadmap for game development? I want to see it from your view

• Nice .

• You mean getting along with the Penguin?… 😏
