[OpenGL] Installation of OpenGL with Visual Studio 2017 (GLFW, GLEW, GLUT)
Reference: http://webnautes.tistory.com/1102

1. Download and Install Visual Studio


Download
Link: https://www.visualstudio.com/ko/downloads/?utm_source=mscom&utm_campaign=msdocs

* Students, download Visual Studio Community 2017 version (with your portal id)
* If you do not want to use with Visual Studio, you can use Eclipse, Intellij, Netbeans ... etc.
* Please note that when you download, select language service package (English, Korean...)

2. Create Empty Project

2-1 Click File->New->Project to create an empty project named CGOpenGLExample.

* Click Empty Project.


* Naming the name of your project. (ex. CGOpenGLExample)
* Note that the location of your project. (ex. C:\Users\heave\source\repos)
2-2 On the Solution Explorer, select Source Files, right mouse click, Add->New item.

* Click C++ File (.cpp)


* Naming the cpp file. (ex. main.cpp)

2-3 Change the Solution Platform to x64.


3. Download GLFW
Download Link: http://www.glfw.org/download.html

* Please use the pre-compiled binaries. (If you are the Windows OS users)
* Please download source package and compile them.
Source Package Download Link: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/3.2.1/glfw-3.2.1.zip
Guide for compiling GLFW: http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html

3-1 Unzip the downloaded compiled file, and copy include folder to your project location.
* ex. Copy include file to the C:\Users\heave\source\repos\CGOpenGLExample\CGOpenGLExample

Project Location: C:\Users\heave\source\repos\CGOpenGLExample\CGOpenGLExample

3-2 Copy the lib-vc2015 to the Project Location, rename to lib.


4. Download GLEW
Download Link: http://glew.sourceforge.net/

4-1 Unzip the downloaded compiled file, and copy include folder to your project location. (it will be
overwritten)
* Please make sure, in include file (in the Project Location), you have GL and GLFW folder.

4-2 Copy files named glew32.lib, glew32s.lib in the glew-2.1.0-win32\glew-


2.1.0\lib\Release\x64 folder to your lib project location.

4-3 Copy to the ... CGOpenGLExample\CGOpenGLExample\lib directory.


4-4 As the same, copy files named glew32.dll in the glew-2.1.0-win32\glew-
2.1.0\bin\Release\x64 folder to your lib project location to your
CGOpenGLExample\CGOpenGLExample\lib.

5. Download FreeGLUT
Download Link: https://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/freeglut-devel/

5-1 Copy downloaded include folder to the project include folder.


5-2 Copy freeglut.lib file to the project lib folder.
5-3 Copy freeglut.dll file to the project location.
6. Project Configuration
Right mouse click on the project named CGOpenGLExample (Solution Explorer).

6-1 Properties -> C/C++ -> General


Set up additional include directories as ./include

6-2 Properties -> Linker -> General


Set up additional library directories as ./lib
6-3 Properties -> Linker -> Input
Add freeglut.lib;glew32.lib;glfw3.lib;OpenGL32.lib; to Additional Dependencies.

Apply and OK.

Before you run the code, please copy the freeglut.dll, glew32.dll, glfw3.dll to the
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (if your system is 64bit computer, if not copy to
C:\Windows\System32).
6. Run Example Code

6-1 GLUT Example code Ctrl+F5

#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>

void MyDisplay() { //디스플레이 콜백함수


glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); //GL 상태변수 설정
glViewport(0, 0, 300, 300);
glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON); //입력 기본요소 정의
glVertex3f(-0.5, -0.5, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.5, -0.5, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.5, 0.5, 0.0);
glVertex3f(-0.5, 0.5, 0.0);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {


glutInit(&argc, argv); //GLUT 윈도우 함수
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize(300, 300);
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0);
glutCreateWindow("OpenGL Sample Drawing");

glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); //GL 상태변수 설정


glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);

glutDisplayFunc(MyDisplay); //GLUT 콜백함수 등록


glutMainLoop(); //이벤트 루프 진입
return 0;
}
6-2 GLEW Example code Ctrl + F5

#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <iostream>

void window_resized(GLFWwindow* window, int width, int height);


void key_pressed(GLFWwindow* window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods);
void show_glfw_error(int error, const char* description);

int main()
{
glfwSetErrorCallback(show_glfw_error);

if (!glfwInit()) {
std::cerr << "GLFW 초기화 실패" << '\n';
exit(-1);
}

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);

GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(


800, // width
600, // height
"OpenGL Example",
NULL, NULL);
if (!window)
{
std::cerr << "윈도우 생성 실패" << '\n';
glfwTerminate();
exit(-1);
}

glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);

glfwSetWindowSizeCallback(window, window_resized);
glfwSetKeyCallback(window, key_pressed);

glfwSwapInterval(1);

glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
GLenum err = glewInit();
if (err != GLEW_OK) {
std::cerr << "GLEW 초기화 실패 " << glewGetErrorString(err) << '\n';
glfwTerminate();
exit(-1);
}

std::cout << glGetString(GL_VERSION) << '\n';

int nr_extensions = 0;
glGetIntegerv(GL_NUM_EXTENSIONS, &nr_extensions);

for (int i = 0; i < nr_extensions; ++i) {


std::cout << glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) << '\n';
}

glClearColor(0, 0, 1, 1);

while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

glfwSwapBuffers(window);

glfwPollEvents();
}

glfwDestroyWindow(window);

glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}

void show_glfw_error(int error, const char* description) {


std::cerr << "Error: " << description << '\n';
}

void window_resized(GLFWwindow* window, int width, int height) {


std::cout << "Window resized, new window size: " << width << " x " << height << '\n';

glClearColor(0, 0, 1, 1);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
}

void key_pressed(GLFWwindow* window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods) {
if (key == 'Q' && action == GLFW_PRESS) {
glfwTerminate();
exit(0);
}
}
