GL3W error on compilation

Question

I am trying to static compile an opengl program using gl3w but i am getting the following errors on doing g++ -Wall -o Code Code.cpp --static -ldl -lc -lglut -lGL -lGLU

i have included #include "GL/gl3w.h" before #include "GL/glut.h" and also added gl3w.h to /usr/include/GL/ folder. Is their something wrong i am doing ?

Answer 1

The functions you're trying to use (e.g, glBegin(), glVertex…(), etc) are part of the OpenGL compatibility profile. They are not present in the OpenGL core profile, which is what gl3w provides.

It sounds like this may not be what you actually want here. If so, don't use gl3w.
