Issue including #include <glm/gtc/quaternion.hpp>

[gbarnes]

Everytime I try to include #include glm/gtc/quaternion.hpp I get alot of errors:

Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : 'constant' glm\gtc\quaternion.hpp 59 1

Error 20 error C2039: '*=' : is not a member of 'glm::detail::tquat' glm\gtc\quaternion.inl 149 1

I don't know if I'm missing something or not but generally I just included the header files and included #include glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp since I need the glm::value_ptr to get the pointer to the matrices.

I get another error in the rotate functionality which uses detail::tmat4x4 Rotate(detail::tmat4x4::null);

but it seems that it cant find detail::tmat4x4::null ... I'm new to C++.

Hi,

What compiler are you using?

Thanks,

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 with the following Platform Toolsets: Visual Studio 2012 (v110). Sry, forgotten to mention it :)

erm... I actually really don't understand what's causing this issue...

Can you try GLM 0.9.4 branch https://github.com/g-truc/glm/zipball/0.9.4 and confirm the problem?

If you still have an issue can you send me a code to reproduce the issue?

Thanks,
Christophe

I tried it and visual studio still gives me the same errors.

I'm using DirectX 9 and OpenGL 4.3 ... its a very large code base but I'm using the following code:

GlobalHeader.h:
#include < glm\glm.hpp > <-- this is included in a global source file

in the global header file I've the following typedefs:
typedef glm::vec3 dmVector3;
typedef glm::vec2 dmVector2;
typedef glm::vec4 dmVector4;
typedef glm::mat4x4 dmMatrix4;

dmGLTriangleNode.cpp:

#include < glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp >
#include < glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp >

glm::mat4 trans = glm::rotate(dmMatrix4(1.0f), mAngle*=0.4f , VECTOR_UP);
this->VSetTransform(&trans, null);

this->mShader.VBind();

int locationProjection = this->mShader.GetLocation("projectionMatrix");
int locationView = this->mShader.GetLocation("viewMatrix");
int locationToWorld = this->mShader.GetLocation("toWorldMatrix");

glUniformMatrix4fv(locationProjection, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(pScene->GetCamera()->GetProjection()));
glUniformMatrix4fv(locationView, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(pScene->GetCamera()->GetView()));
glUniformMatrix4fv(locationToWorld, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(this->mProperties.ToWorld()));

whenever I use glm::value_ptr(); it gives me the error with the quaternion.hpp since there is a overloaded function for quaternions. I excluded the overload function of value_ptr and it works but ran into another issue with the glm::rotate function as described above.

Hi,

I still have no solution for you... Is there any chance that your application is actually defining "value_ptr" with a define?

Thanks,
