How to use OpenGL 3.0 on MacOS with Intel HD 3000

I'm trying to set up the OpenGL 3.0 on my xcode, i'm with mac os x 10.9.2 and the latest xcode with all the updates installed. I configured my project with xcode, the headers files contains gl3.h. But when i do

cout<<glGetString(GL_VERSION)<<endl;

I get 

2.1 INTEL-8.18.28

Is there a way to specify OpenGL 3.0? i checked and the Intel hd 3000 do have support for OGL 3.0.

Note: I`m using GLFW and i added:

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 0);

But i get

NSGL: The targeted version of OS X does not support OpenGL 3.0 or 3.1
Solution

  • Solved With:

    glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);
