Uploading project to GitHub

[Rufida123]

I have uploaded my project to GitHub like you said in the first lecture so we can work on the project together as a team, but it seems like my friends are having troubles when cloning my repository like including the libraries and running the code on their laptops even though I have added the libraries to the repository and included them correctly in my project.
so what files should be uploaded so the repository works on all laptops?

Hi @Rufida123, You might be using full paths for include/lib files.. there is not enough information in your question to give a specific answer.. either provide me with a link to your repo, or at least paste the content of .vcxproj file(s) here in this discussion.

As I've mentioned, you are using full paths for includes and libs, in your .vcxproj file, replace every C:\Users\rufida\Desktop\OpenGL_repo\OpenGL Code occurence, with .\, for example

replace

<IncludePath>C:\Users\rufida\Desktop\OpenGL_repo\OpenGL Code\Libraries;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>

with

<IncludePath>.\Libraries;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>

this way, the path is relative to the .vcxproj file, therefore, your teammates' Visual Studio can find these files and consume them.

Also, I've noticed that you've mentioned another glad.c file that is out of your repo!

You should fix that as well, to corrent the path,

replace

<ClCompile Include="..\..\..\OneDrive\Documents\OpenGl\glad.c" />

with

<ClCompile Include=".\Libraries\glad.c" />

because you have a copy of glad.c at that location.

For more, check AdditionalIncludeDirectories and AdditionalLibraryDirectories properties in LabDemos.vcxproj as examples, and read the notes I've added in this repo.

Note: I've edited your reply to hide the link to your repo (so you keep your homework code hidden😉).

thank you so much ,I tried your suggestion and everything worked perfectly .
I will consider making my repository private 👍.
