OpenGL Programming/Installation/Mac
OpenGL was deprecated in macOS 10.14, but at least in macOS 10.15, OpenGL and GLUT are still available
Use GLUT and OpenGL from within Xcode: edit
- Open Xcode located in "/Developer/Applications/"
- Choose "New Project" from the file menu
- Choose "Command Line Tool" under the Application template for Mac OS X
- Choose type "C++"
- Enter your desired project name and directory and click create
- In the "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" area click the "+" button, and select "OpenGL.framework"
- Repeat for "GLUT.framework"
When #including OpenGL & GLUT header files (but not the regular ones like iostream) within Xcode, make sure to do so like this:
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
in other words:
#include <name_of_framework/name_of_header_file.h>
