How add OpenGL & GLUT for CLion on Windows?
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I want to learn how to use the OpenGL library with C++ but I am struggling getting the external libraries to import. I am using CLion as my IDE and MinGW as my compiler. Here is my CMake code:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)
project(compgeo)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
add_executable(compgeo main.cpp)
find_package(GLUT REQUIRED)
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
include_directories( ${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${GLUT_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
And here is my code that I am trying to test:
/*
* GL01Hello.cpp: Test OpenGL C/C++ Setup
*/
#include <windows.h> // For MS Windows
#include <GL/glut.h> // GLUT, includes glu.h and gl.h
/* Handler for window-repaint event. Call back when the window first appears and
whenever the window needs to be re-painted. */
void display() {
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set background color to black and opaque
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear the color buffer
// Draw a Red 1x1 Square centered at origin
glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Each set of 4 vertices form a quad
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Red
glVertex2f(-0.5f, -0.5f); // x, y
glVertex2f( 0.5f, -0.5f);
glVertex2f( 0.5f, 0.5f);
glVertex2f(-0.5f, 0.5f);
glEnd();
glFlush(); // Render now
}
/* Main function: GLUT runs as a console application starting at main() */
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Setup Test"); // Create a window with the given title
glutInitWindowSize(320, 320); // Set the window's initial width & height
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 50); // Position the window's initial top-left corner
glutDisplayFunc(display); // Register display callback handler for window re-paint
glutMainLoop(); // Enter the infinitely event-processing loop
return 0;
}
These are the errors I am getting. The issue comes around once it links the CXX executable:

You must add the library as a link dependency.
target_link_libraries(compgeo ${OPENGL_LIBRARIES} ${GLUT_LIBRARY} )
