In Topic: glGenBuffers throwing an access violation
20 February 2013 - 04:43 AM
i have tried calling it both before and after the context exists, though currently it's being called before, wasn't sure when it needed to be initialised since it's included before and DevIL is initialised before also
anyway, currently if i run
GLenum errr= glewInit();
GLenum x;
x=GLEW_OK;
glutInit(&argc,argv);
glewinit returns a 1, and GLEW_OK returns a 0 so i assume they are different enums
ah there we go, after moving it to after the context, it works fine, both enums return 0, so it's GLEW_OK, and glgenbuffers no longer send a access violation
i feel stupid now, i swear i did try this, but thanks for asking the right questions
perhaps a small side-question ( perhaps not ), are there any standard libraries/functions i can use to pop up a window in case of for example, a error or a specific scenario easily? (ideally something along the lines of windows::showSplashScreen() or showSplashScreen("An error!") or something like that, doesnt even need text or anything, just some external indicator that something has happened without breakpoints.)

thanks
