Running mac os x c++ program working with OpenGL 3.3

Question

I am running Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29). I am working on a macbook pro.

I have installed brew and the following packages:

brew install glfw3
brew in         


        

Answer 1

This is answered in the GLFW docs: http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/window_guide.html

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
// Should be true for macOS, according to GLFW docs, to get core profile.
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
// According to Apple docs, non-core profiles are limited to version 2.1.
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
