Trouble Installing on Windows #134

Closed Triangle345 closed 10 years ago

Triangle345 commented 10 years ago

Are there any general instructions for installing on windows?

I have tried cygwin 64 bit, 32 bit, mingw 64 bit and in either case I get different errors. For cygwin I get an error while doing go get claiming that I need glew32 but I compiled as glew 64? Just wondering if anyone had luck installing go-gl on a windows machine?

I would really like to know that as well. Because glfw has to be linked dynamically, I do now know how to build a windows executable of my game.

Triangle345 commented 10 years ago

I was able to get opengl built and successfully executed the go get command on gl but no luck with glfw. For opengl please use my comments on this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21638482/golang-opengl-windows-installation-issues/21638699#21638699

For glfw I have no idea still...

What seems to be the problem with glfw on win64? Did you renamed the library as stated in README?

Triangle345 commented 10 years ago

Win64/32 bit both... I do not see anything in the README about renaming a library? Can you please clarify. For glfw I downloaded the mingw windows binaries and there is nothing in the README about renaming. http://sourceforge.net/projects/glfw/files/glfw/3.0.4/glfw-3.0.4.bin.WIN32.zip/download

I guess you're talking about go-gl/glfw I was referring to go-gl/glfw3 On 11 Feb 2014 14:48, "Eugene F" notifications@github.com wrote:

Well the libraries inside the download package do reference glfw3. So yes, glfw3 since that is what they included. Can you clarify what to rename?

tapir commented 10 years ago

I was talking about README of go-gl/glfw3 -> https://github.com/go-gl/glfw3 But you still didn't state what exactly is the problem. Send some logs, compiler errors, anything that might help solve your problem.

Triangle345 commented 10 years ago

I was able to get glfw3 working by simply downloading glfw3 for mingw. I took the mingw libraries and placed them in my mingw/lib directory ( on my c drive). After that I did the usual go get for glfw and ran the sample app - things seemed to work fine. Thanks for the support!
