Mac compilation error

[narner]

Hey Maurice, thanks for sharing this cool project! I saw you had only tested this on Debian systems; I went and tried to compile on my Mac and got the following error output:

./types.h:8:10: fatal error: 'GL/gl.h' file not found
#include <GL/gl.h>

Just thought I'd let you know!

The includes are slightly different for osx. Try changing to them to the following instead;

#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>

I generally tend to add the following to my code instead, in order to avoid that.

#ifdef __APPLE__
#  include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#  include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#  include <GLUT/glut.h>
#else
#  include <GL/gl.h>
#  include <GL/glu.h>
#  include <GL/freeglut.h>
#endif

@pgunasekara Hmm, I tried that, but it looks like I get the same errors as before whenever I run ./compile.sh

@narner also add -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT to the link link in compile.sh and remove the linux eqivalents -lglut -lGLU -lGL

I got it to compile and run, but got a bunch of other runtime errors that I resolved with this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20931528/shader-cant-be-compiled but I just get a large empty window.

Looks like the shaders are not compiled correctly? Could be because of the legacy profile which just goes for OpenGL/GLSL 2.1... I have actuall no idea how to get to OpenGL 3.3...

Yea, here's the output on my mac -

OK, so OpenGL 3.3 is not supported by your core profile. It might be possible to switch to the legacy one. But I have no idea how. And in my experience that will take some time with no guarantee for success...

If someone gets it to work in Mac, please let me know.
