OpenGL: glGetError() returns invalid enum after call to glewInit()

Question

I use GLEW and freeglut. For some reason, after a call to glewInit(), glGetError() returns error code 1280, even with glewExperimental = GL_FALSE.

I cannot compile

Answer 1

It seems glew just does not work correctly... The easiest solution for me was using libepoxy. It does not require any init thing. Just replace your

#include 

with

#include 
#include 

and remove all the glew code. If you use gcc, you will also have to replace "-lGLEW" with "-lepoxy". That's it. For example I have something like:

g++ main.cpp -lepoxy -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_mixer -lglut -lGLU -o main

It seems to be important to keep epoxy flag before others.
