OpenGl Shader Programming: Getting Started

Download “The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library” and put the files as described there.

Run glewinfo.exe to see if your graphics card supports the Opengl GLSL Shader library.

Try some code, I downloaded the program given my TA.

But there was error coming as

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp____glewGetInfoLogARB
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp____glewGetObjectParameterivARB
main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__glewInit referenced in function “bool __cdecl init(void)” (?init@@YA_NXZ)
