While trying to do OpenGL programming in C++, I encountered a syntax error that appeared to be unconventional, specifically after creating the vertex shader and compiling it.

Without further information on the specific syntax error, it is difficult to provide a solution. However, here are some general troubleshooting tips:

1. Check for typos: Make sure that all variables, functions, and brackets have been spelled correctly and are in the right place.

2. Check for missing semicolons: Often, a missing semicolon can cause syntax errors. Check that you have included all necessary semicolons at the end of each statement.

3. Check for unsupported features: OpenGL has strict syntax rules, and certain features may not be supported or may require specific syntax. Check the OpenGL documentation to see if you are using unsupported features or syntax.

4. Use a debugging tool: Debugging tools can help you identify syntax errors by highlighting them in your code. Consider using a debugger such as gdb or a plugin for your IDE.

5. Consult with other developers: Reach out to other developers or online forums for help with identifying and fixing syntax errors. Often, fresh eyes can catch mistakes that you may have missed.
