According to this article it seems that now RDP handles newer versions of Direct3D and OpenGL on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, but by default it is disabled by Group Policy. I suppose that for performance reasons, using a hardware graphics card is disabled, and RDP uses a software-emulated graphics card driver that provides … Read more
The code examples provided in the other answers don’t describe how to redirect your callback to a per-object member function, with possibly any number of objects. Making your class a singleton will constrain your design and will not scale to multiple glfw windows. The scalable solution is to set the glfw window user pointer to … Read more
The OpenGL Extension Wrangler (GLEW) is used to access the modern OpenGL API functions(version 3.2 up to latest version).If we use an ancient version of OpenGL then we can access the OpenGL functions simply including as #include <GL/gl.h>.But in modern OpenGL, the API functions are determined at run time, not compile time. GLEW will handle … Read more
FreeGLUT: Based on the GLUT API. GLUT has been around for about as long as OpenGL itself. Many tutorials and examples out there use GLUT. Takes care of implementing the event loop and works through callbacks (good for simple stuff, makes things like precisely timed animation loops and low latency input much harder though). GLFW: … Read more
Step 1: Installing GLFW 3 on your system with CMAKE For this install, I was using KUbuntu 13.04, 64bit. The first step is to download the latest version (assuming versions in the future work in a similar way) from www.glfw.org, probably using this link. The next step is to extract the archive, and open a … Read more
