thank you, but your code won't compile. you probably have to declare displayRenderer and displayWindow in the global scope rather than in the main function to fix it.

you also need to include something for gluPerspective.... gl\glu.h
... and even after that, it didn't work for me, just getting a black screen. The thought was good though :)

For anyone else who finds this and has trouble, I got it working - you need to create an OpenGL context too. After creating the window + renderer, call SDL_GL_CreateContext() passing the window as a parameter. Then, once you've drawn what you want with OpenGL commands, you need to use SDL_GL_SwapWindow().

Yea...I pushed the renderer and window variables into the global mem, and used a function by NEHE to replace the perspective function: http://nehe.gamedev.net/article/replacement_for_gluperspective/21002/

for osx 10.9/xcode 5....

sdl2 framework, gl framework, glut framework

line 9: #include OpenGL/glu.h

replace line 63 w/void Display_Render(SDL_Renderer* displayRenderer)

line 114: Display_Render(displayRenderer);

You don't really need a renderer in SDL2.

line 90: SDL_GL_SwapWindow(displayWindow);

line 101: displayWindow = SDL_CreateWindow("", 0, 0, width, height, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);

Delete everywhere else the renderer appears.

Here is a working example for MacOSX and Ubuntu:

... and for Win :)
