Hi All
I just started to port code from OpenGL 2.1 to 4.1 (OSX 10.14.3, Xcode, Qt Framework). The context is initialized, OpenGL vers is detected as 4.1, my app is running (no crashes), but all graphics windows are empty ;-)
How can I detect my probs? Xcode has some tools but they are for “metal”. Qt also offers some debugging instruments but thet require “KHR_debug” extension that I've not. Can I use something besides tedious glGetError?
Thx

As long as your card supports 4.3, you can program for 4.1 and not have a problem with Debug Output. At least this is true for GLFW on Nvidia.
@fleabay Apple doesn't support Debug Output extension.
@tommato have you created and bound a VAO? Maybe the most common issue when porting old OpenGL code to new is forgetting it.

My bad, didn't see it was Apple OSX.
Try installing the newest drivers from Nvidia. LOL, OSX. Just don't.
