Cannot use createTexture in mac

[remorses]

Mac OpenGl version is stuck on OpenGL 4.1

The following line is using a function that requires 4.5 (glCreateTextures) https://github.com/ziglibs/zgl/blob/b2c03796ecbe54faa09370ce94d6658c7ee7d315/zgl.zig#L1357

Does this mean that zgl cannot run on mac systems? Is there any workaraound?

I am a total OpenGL noob that is trying to run this project on mac and getting this error

There is probably an alternative function to create textures that work on previous opengl version right? So probably the problem is that specific code and not zgl

Yeah, zgl was built with OpenGL 4.5 in mind right now. I don't intent to change this soon, but maybe enable a API wrapper to allow the use of GL_ARB_direct_state_access instead.

But i have to be honest: I don't use zgl anymore personally and keep the project in maintainance mode. Feel free to figure out a way and PR it though!

Yes, you can use glGenTextures instead, which is wrapped under genTexture and available from version 2.0. I personally have no issues using extended OpenGL 2.1 with zgl. Probably too late of an answer, but somebody might be looking at it in the future, so.
