How do I get OpenGL working in a c++ vscode project?

  Multi-Language Vulkan/GL/GLES/EGL/GLX/WGL Loader-Generator based on the official specs.

I only remember how for mingw64, but its probably a similar process. 1 - Compile glfw in cmake, build it with vstudio (this makes two .h files if im not wrong). 2 - use this to get a glad.h file: https://glad.dav1d.de/ 3 - Put all the .h files in your project folder (or in the mingw include folder) 4 - You need to link some libraries in the tasks.json file (if you dont have one search it up) Here's the ones I have linked:

• glew-cmake

  4 226 6.9 C

  GLEW(https://github.com/nigels-com/glew, source updated nightly) with Cmake and pre-generated sources

I did it by using CMake and simply linking my executable with glew-cmake.

Here you can find my toy engine, the CMakeLists may be a bit of a mess though, I am kind of a beginner when it comes to using CMake, but the idea is to let CMake generate the Visual Studio files and folders architectures on its own, it's a very powerful tool, very useful if you ever want to go cross-platform.
