I am getting the following error in my fragment shader:
Compile log: ERROR: 0:7: 'texture' : syntax error: syntax error
The shader is written like this:
#version 300 es
in mediump vec2 texCoord;
out mediump vec4 fColor;
uniform sampler texture;
void main(void) {
fColor = texture(texture, texCoord);
}
Why am I getting the error?
You had two errors. Firstly, texture is a keyword, so you can't use that as a variable name. Secondly sampler doesn't exist as a datatype in OpenGL ES; you need a specific subtype, e.g. sampler2D.
Working shader is:
#version 300 es
in mediump vec2 texCoord;
out mediump vec4 fColor;
uniform sampler2D myTexture;
void main(void) {
fColor = texture(myTexture, texCoord);
}
texture is now a reserved word in GLSL 3.00 , you need to change the name.
