I am writing a program using shaders and getting some error when running the built exe.
Shader program failed to link
The fragment shader uses varying color, but previous shader does not write to it.
Out of resource error.
This is my code:
example.cpp:
// Two-Dimensional Sierpinski Gasket
// Generated using randomly selected vertices and bisection
#include "Angel.h"

const int NumTetraeder = 1024;
const int NumVertices = 9 * NumTetraeder;
vec4 points[NumVertices];
int Index = 0;
int fps = 20;
float angle_param = 0.5;
float etime;
GLint time_loc;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void triangle(const vec4& a, const vec4& b, const vec4& c)
{
points[Index++] = a;
points[Index++] = b;
points[Index++] = c;
}
void divide_tetraeder(const vec4& a, const vec4& b, const vec4& c, const vec4& d, int count)
{
if(count > 0)
{
//compute midpoints
vec4 ab = (a + b) / 2.0;
vec4 ac = (a + c) / 2.0;
vec4 ad = (a + d) / 2.0;
vec4 bc = (b + c) / 2.0;
vec4 bd = (b + d) / 2.0;
vec4 cd = (c + d) / 2.0;

divide_tetraeder(ad, bd, cd, d, count -1);

Answer 1

Your fragment shader has a varying variable in vec4 color, but none of the preceding shader stages (the vertex shader in your case) does define an varying output out vec4 color. This is also what the error message told you. Solution: Your vertex shader must define a out vec4 color and write to it.
