I'm trying to setup an OpenGL Context with a window and viewport using the minimum code to do this with emscripten.
I've started coding, this with the following code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<GLES2/gl2.h>
#include<GL/glfw.h>
#include<emscripten/emscripten.h>
int init_gl()
{
const int width = 480,
height = 800;
if (glfwInit() != GL_TRUE) {
printf("glfwInit() failed\n");
return GL_FALSE;
}
if (glfwOpenWindow(width, height, 8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0, GLFW_WINDOW) != GL_TRUE) {
printf("glfwOpenWindow() failed\n");
return GL_FALSE;
}
return GL_TRUE;
}
void do_frame()
{
glfwSwapBuffers();
}
void shutdown_gl()
{
glfwTerminate();
}
int main() {
printf("hello GL test\n");
if (init_gl() == GL_TRUE) {
printf("initGL was true!\n");
emscripten_set_main_loop(do_frame, 0, 1);
} else {
printf("could not init GL\n");
}
shutdown_gl();
return 0;
}
When I try to build this using emscripten 1.30.0 I get the following errors:

It looks like the GLFW library is redefining some of the definitions in GLES2, what can I do about this?
EDIT: 7th June 2015
I fixed the issue by removing the #include<GLES2/gl2.h> line and adding #define GLFW_INCLUDE_ES2 before the #include<GL/glfw.h> line which causes the GLFW to import the correct GL files.
However, now I have a separate issue; when trying to run the output in Firefox I get: 'exception thrown: ReferenceError: GL is not defined'
Does anyone know what might be causing it?
This is apparently due to a missing dependency for GL when only using GLFW commands. If you add a gl* call, it will compile fine: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/3530
