Hey,

I'm truing to use OpenGL with SDL in a project for the Switch,
I can get SDL to build / run on it. But when i try to use fucntions from SDL_opengl.h it causes linker errors.

Here is the code of what i am trying to build,
https://github.com/brammie15/SwitchEngine
And here is the error i keep getting

Code: Select all

linking application.elf
/opt/devkitpro/devkitA64/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-none-elf/14.1.0/../../../../aarch64-none-elf/bin/ld: main.o: in function `main':
/home/bart/Downloads/application/source/main.cpp:76:(.text.startup.main+0xb0): undefined reference to `glMatrixMode'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/opt/devkitpro/libnx/switch_rules:81: /home/bart/Downloads/application/application.elf] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:171: build] Error 2

I have looked at the Opengl examples and tried to also add the libs from opengl but to no avail

Any help?

It appears the symbol glmatrixMode is not available in the library. You can check it using the nm command on libGLESv2.a:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/devkitpro/portlibs/switch/lib && nm libGLESv2.a | grep glMatrixMode

As far as I can tell this method is related to a legacy OpenGL with "immediate mode", which is not (fully) supported here, I believe. Instead, you should work with shaders and set matrices as uniforms using the

Code: Select all

glUniformMatrix4fv()

function.
