I compiled an OpenGL Triangle app on my M1 MacBook Air.
The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform loading library.
GLEW provides a way to determine (at runtime) which OpenGL implementations are available.
The "4.1 Metal - 76.3" OpenGL implementation is available on my M1 MacBook Air.
Running application
The GLFW library is used to create an application window with a given width and height and the title "LearnOpenGL".
The GLEW library state is initialized.
A GLEW library call is used to define a viewport.
In this example vertex shader and fragment shader code (written in the C-like language GLSL) is copied, compiled and executed on the computer's graphics processing unit (GPU).
In a loop the shaders are used to draw and redraw a triangle defined by a set of positions/vertices. Each position includes an x value between -1 (far left) and 1 (far right), a y value between -1 (bottom) and 1 (top) and a z value (always 0 in this example).
