qt with glut on windows 10

[gtx]

it did have that in glwidget.h with the word explicit at the beginning but no Q_OBJECT, i tried adding Q_OBJECT but then i get build time errors so i removed it again

Yea i've heard of this however the only youtube video tutorial i've found the seemed complete and i could understand was using qglwidget. I don't think qglwidget is the problem because it was working before i added the glut.

I also don't think it is the cause of the problem but why use obsolete technology when the replacement is virtually identical in API?

It should't matter unless you define your own slots, signals or properties.

However, if you get build errors when adding the Q_OBJECT marker the usual fix is to re-run qmake.

Then you really need to learn how to use the debugger and run your program in debug mode. When the program crashes, you look at the call stack and that will tell you the complete sequence of calls made by your program from the beginning up to the point where the crash occurs.

Just keep in mind that -where- the crash occurs might not be the actual cause that leads to the crash. For example, a memory error earlier in the program may not actually cause a problem until the code that tries to use the corrupted memory gets executed. You need to look at not only where the crash happens, but what the program is trying to do when it crashes.

Once you have established where the crash happens, if you don't understand why then report back and maybe someone here can provide some help. Just don't post screen shots of the call stack, copy and paste the text instead.
