Description

OpenGL generated error 1280 trying to get the program link status, does your video card support shader programs?

How do I check?

Research direction

Start with examples/gl/gpuParticleSystemExample and reproduce the failure using make RunRelease on the listed Ubuntu and Intel graphics environment. Trace the geometry-shader setup, program-link status, and FBO errors to establish the compatibility requirement; done means the example's support status and an actionable outcome are documented.
