I realise there is a description page stating that vs2015 support is currently not there (yet).
I also note the last commit seems to be a couple of months old.
Is there any word on when the vs2015 project support will land?

Thanks, it is my fault, after do some configuration, it is ok now

I have the same problem. Some projects crash when I try to run them. What did you do to get the code working in vs 2015?

If you are running the examples from within Visual Studio then you need to set the working directory so they will find the data files in bin/media. Setting the working directory to $(OutDir) is probably the easiest way.

The error I get when building is a linking error, It says that it could not open glfw3_d.lib

@nldvos Try this fork, which contains fixes for the use of GLFW. It is also available as pull request #5.

I was able to solve my problems. The first one was that the code was running on my CPU graphics card (which supports OpenGL 4.4). The second problem was that for some reason the models in the media folder were gone. I don't know how this could happen as I downloaded the repository recently, maybe they disappeared by using cmake (It is my first time using cmake, so I don't know).

So how did you get those media files back, I run the solution in visual studio 2015, some project can run normally, some crashed when running the exe combiled From: nldvos Date: 2017-03-07 00:21 To: openglredbook/examples CC: weifu010320307; Author Subject: Re: [openglredbook/examples] Need help and support for vs 2015?

I downloaded the repository again (this time I did not used cmake) and copy pasted the bin/media folder.

Thanks, I use cmake before, I should try to use the same method as you did.
