Making the source address: https://github.com/openglredbook/examples
Note, direct source code downloaded from making, using CMake build VS2015 always appear a lot of mistakes, later on the issue of https://github.com/openglredbook/examples/issues/2, found that has successfully solved the great god, therefore, recommended directly download the source code of the lot:

Finally, “Open Project” will be opened by default with VS2015
3. VS2015 configuration
Mouse select “ALL_BUILD” → Recompile
Select “Install” → Recompile with the mouse
4. Run the example
If you want to test running an example from a book, just select the example, like “01-triangles,” set it to “Set as Start Project,” and you’ll be ready to go
A triangular window will appear after successful operation:
5. Special Settings
Some examples, such as “12-imageprocessing,” will show a black window with nothing at all. This is because some of the shaders are not set to the correct file paths. Many of the resource files in the book are in: examples, bin, media.
A simple way to do this is to set up the working directory so that the relevant resource files can be found at runtime:
The working directory is: $(projectDir).. \bin
