Add glut32.dll into the complied executed file

<< < (2/2)

I am sorry that I have no idea about "static library".  Can you tell me some more about this?  Are they the libraries somewhat like we added into, under Project Build Options > Linker Settings?  Where can I find those library that would suit for my platform of Windows Vista?  With many thanks.

Folco:
A dynamic library is linked to your program at run-time. It's an external file (.dll, .so) that the linker of your OS launch when your program is launched. And your programs use some functions/data of this file.

A static library is included in your program at compile-time. Only parts of the lib that you use are added. So your program can be executed without being linked to a .dll file by the OS.

If you don't know the difference between statically and dynamically linking, you are in the wrong forum.

You should start with a good book and/or tutorial, that teaches you the programming basics.

The C::B forum is dedicated to C::B related questions only, not to teach programming in general.

Your thread therfore violates our forum rules.
