OpenGLAppExample does not compile

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, Win 7 32 bit.

I get these errors trying to compile this demo "out of the box"

in this initialization code (at the opening braces):

        vertexShader = {
                "attribute vec4 position;\n"
                "attribute vec4 sourceColour;\n"
                "attribute vec2 texureCoordIn;\n"
                "\n"
                "uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;\n"
                "uniform mat4 viewMatrix;\n"
                "\n"
                "varying vec4 destinationColour;\n"
                "varying vec2 textureCoordOut;\n"
                "\n"
                "void main()\n"
                "{\n"
                "    destinationColour = sourceColour;\n"
                "    textureCoordOut = texureCoordIn;\n"
                "    gl_Position = projectionMatrix * viewMatrix * position;\n"
            "}\n"};
        fragmentShader = {

Damn, looks like nobody ever tried that on windows - have fixed it now, thanks!

Lol! Thanks Jules!

Is it a C++ construct that does get compiled in XCode?

Yes, probably because the braces are handled as the new C++11 initialiser list syntax.

Ah, I should have tried VS2013 then... I am not yet familiar enough with the 11 additions.
