Code Blocks Error Message with GLUT

(1/5) > >>

studiox:
Hi

I am very new to all this, so please bare with me.  We use Visual Studio.NET at school for C++ programs linked with all the openGL lib and stuff, I need an editor for home so i can compile my work, that is why i got Code Blocks and i need to configure it.  I am getting this error message when i compile my prog:

C:/Program Files/CodeBlocks/include/GL/glut.h:50: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `short'

I have no clue what this means, any ideas.  Also, how do i link/configure with Code Blocks the openGL lib?

thanks!

Also, 1 more thing i just realized.  When i build, i get this message

okay, figure it out, it was linking lib issues with glu, glut & openGL.

Now i have one new problem.  It builds fine, but when i "compile & run" i get an error pop up box saying
"The dynamic link library glut32.dll could not be found in C:\................................."very long file path which starts with where my cpp file sits and adds all these others weird C:\ paths to it.  What is wrong now?

pls help, i really wanna try this editor!

Unfortunately, glut support in MinGW is not complete. But if you search a bit, you can find it online.
Take a look here.

Hi,

I am having the same problem with linking with GLUT, could you tell me how you fixed this error??

"C:/Program Files/CodeBlocks/include/GL/glut.h:50: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `short'"

Thanks,
Himaja.
