Hello, I have a funky problem to my eyes. A file is compiling perfect if I use gcc (gcc simpleFBO.c -o lGL -lGLU -lglut) and not at all if I use g++. The given error is: omilla@d5201:~/SVN/GFX/branches/omilla/playground> make g++ simpleFBO.c -o simpleFBO simpleFBO.c: In function ‘void render_redirect()’: simpleFBO.c:124: error: ‘glBindFramebufferEXT’ was not declared in this scope simpleFBO.c: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: simpleFBO.c:176: error: ‘glGenFramebuffersEXT’ was not declared in this scope simpleFBO.c:182: error: ‘glBindFramebufferEXT’ was not declared in this scope simpleFBO.c:193: error: ‘glFramebufferTexture2DEXT’ was not declared in this scope simpleFBO.c:197: error: ‘glCheckFramebufferStatusEXT’ was not declared in this scope make: *** [simpleFBO] Error 1 I am running a Linux Suse 10 and here are version of compil tools: omilla@d5201:~/SVN/GFX/branches/omilla/playground> gcc -v Using built-in specs.

If you're using the glext.h included in the distro, it may be that it doesn't have FBO defined. Did you really checked out this or written it just for reference?

yes I did check (see below). And moreover it DOES work when using gcc so I guess the distro has the recquired stuffs. I even changed graphics cards to have one that supports these extensions.

Sorry, I didn't take this in consideration. It seems like g++ puts those identifiers in a different scope. Namespaces as far as I know are not C-compatible so they shouldn't be a problem (but meybe they're supported as GNU extensions in GCC, who knows).

Although it should not be a difference, try embedding the include in extern "C" { #include... }.

What other libraries are you using? Which ones are included before? Which after?
Are there other extensions which do work? Other funcs? Tokens?
While I think at it, did you #define GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES ?

The header is already completely in an extern "C":
omilla@d5201:~/SVN/GFX/branches/omilla/playground> grep -n "extern" /usr/include/GL/glext.h
5:extern "C" {

Hey, just found the answer: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/
so I should just add #define GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES before including glext.h. O_o crazy.
