OpenGL Issue

[alrawab]

How do I install the dev files?

OpenGL should be installed by default, but I suppose the dev files are not.

Those work with XCode. I compiled and ran the one example and it worked fine. Both OpenGL and Glut are installed.

How do I get it to work with QtCreator? Is there a way to define where the headers/frameworks are?

Is there a way to define where the headers/frameworks are?

Yes. You can use the INCLUDEPATH variable in your project file.

Apparently a .framework file also contains its own folders, so linking to those directly doesn't work

INCLUDEPATH += /System/Library/Frameworks/

INCLUDEPATH += /System/Library/Frameworks/

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

According to this page, the header files for OpengGL should be in the Headers directory, but it doesn't exists.

Here is also a screenshot of the error.

According to that same page:

OpenGl is included <OpenGL/gl.h> rather than the more expected <gl/gl.h> on other platforms.

and I think you will see an OpenGL folder in that framework... what's in it?

It's not a directory. It appears to be a binary file of some sort.

Your own screenshot claims it's an alias to something (probably some other bundle that contains those development files).

Not familiar with that. Is there a way to find out where it goes?

My knowledge of MacOSX is very limited, I'm afraid I can't help you.
