I had OpenGL project for finding a convex hull written in Windows.
Now i'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and i tried to port the code (It's C++ code) and run it.
I saw that, it should be compiled this way :
g++ convex.cpp -lm -lglut -lGLU -o convex_hull_project
It compiles the file, but when i run the file ./convex_hull_project
it starts the program, shows the title but there is nothing - it only docks for the bottom task line and when i click it - nothing shows. There is no window with the program.
Any idea ?
Here's the code that uses OpenGL stuff :
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_DEPTH); // color, buffer
glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
glutInitWindowSize(window_size_width,window_size_height);
glutCreateWindow("Convex hull");
glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);
glutMouseFunc(mouse);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
void renderScene(void) {
// clear framebuffer
glClearColor(0.f,0.f,0.f,0.f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// set-up matrix
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0,window_size_width,window_size_height,0,-1,1);
glViewport(0,0,window_size_width,window_size_height);
//drawing ...
}
And includes are :
#include<GL/glut.h>
#include<GL/glu.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>
#include<math.h>
You have to call
glutCreateWindow
before you set windows's properties. Your code, fixed (I've replaced width and height constants with 300 just to get it to compile and commented out mouse handler registration):
