Chett:
I only started using codeblocks a couple weeks ago. Learning codeblocks and dusting off some old out of date programming skills.

My current goal started out to install and use Cg ...then of course had to back up and get glut ..

After a bit I gave up on glut and switched to glfw. But I am really hitting the same problem with both:

ld.exe||cannot find -lgl|

I have so many paths and links added trying to fix this I am starting to lose track. (I even tried just dumping copies of the lib files in codeblocks lib)

Running ver. 8.02 on windows xp

Download and install mingw: http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/

Chett:

Ahh, sorry, I misread error message you posted. Try to use libopengl32.a instead libgl.a.

Chett:
Since thats in the lib wouldn't it get used automatically? Would I need to actually remove other libs?
