I'm programming on a Mac and I'm learning OpenGL in the library GLFW.

My problem is that my Mac supports OpenGL up to version 4.1, but when I try to compile the shaders with version 410 it says ERROR: 0:1: '' : version '410' is not supported.

How do I set the version that GLFW should use?

  • $\begingroup$ you can use glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION) to see which glsl versions are available to you. printf("Supported GLSL version is %s.\n", (char *)glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION)); $\endgroup$

Changed the core profile to 3.2 by setting the window hints.

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 2);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
