c++ code executio canntot proceed because glew32.dll was not founud

  1. Download GLEW library:
  2. Go to the official GLEW website: http://glew.sourceforge.net/

  3. Download the GLEW binary release for Windows.

  4. Extract GLEW files:

  5. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a location on your computer.

  6. Locate GLEW DLL:

  7. Find the 'glew32.dll' file in the extracted GLEW folder.

  8. Copy GLEW DLL:

  9. Copy the 'glew32.dll' file.

  10. Paste GLEW DLL into System32 (optional):

  11. Paste the 'glew32.dll' file into the 'C:\Windows\System32\' directory if needed.

  12. Paste GLEW DLL into Project Directory:

  13. Paste the 'glew32.dll' file into your C++ project directory.

  14. Include GLEW Header in Code:

  15. In your C++ code, include the GLEW header before any OpenGL headers. cpp #include <GL/glew.h>

  16. Initialize GLEW:

  17. Call 'glewInit()' after creating an OpenGL context. cpp GLenum err = glewInit(); if (err != GLEW_OK) { // Handle the error }

  18. Link GLEW Library:

  19. In your project settings or makefile, link against the GLEW library.

  20. Build and Run:

  21. Rebuild your C++ project and run the executable. The 'glew32.dll' should be found, and the program can proceed.

Note: Ensure that your OpenGL context is created before initializing GLEW, and include necessary OpenGL headers based on your platform.
