#234 problem with running a compiled program Segmentation fault: 11 on mac os el capitan

[Foad S. Farimani]

basically I am following the tutorial here after hours of search I released that I can install freeglut, glew and glfw3 using brew. and then by adding /usr/local/Cellar to the end of /etc/paths and using the command line like below: g++ -framework OpenGL foo.c -lGLEW -lglfw3 lGLUT or g++ -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT foo.c -lGLEW -lglfw3 I can get the code compiled. however when I run the compiled program it stopes with a stake overflow error Segmentation fault: 11 you may see the complete error report in the attachment.

well I figiured part of the problem out apparantly by using

glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;

right before

glewInit();

the problems gets solved. I learned it from here.

however I have another error when runing:

Vertex shader not compiled.
InfoLog:
ERROR: 0:3: '' :  version '130' is not supported

Fragment shader not compiled.
InfoLog:
ERROR: 0:3: '' :  version '130' is not supported
ERROR: 0:23: 'precision' : syntax error: syntax error

don't know how to solve it!

You are not using freeglut. You are using Apple's implementation of GLUT. Also none of your problems have anything to do with either.

@John, thanks for your reply, yes I had already gueesed that. so would you be so kind to help me find the right command to compile my code? it must be something like this:

g++ -framework OpenGL foo.c -lGLEW -lglfw3 -lfreglut

it seems that I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to use freeglut instead of main mac glut. you may see here and here they have all got it wrong apparantly!
