newbie: installation problem GLut32

[Frankolino]

dear friends of coding blocks, hello

I am quite new with code::blocks! (version 10.05)

Yesterday evening I wanted to install an openGL exmple (GLUT) and the setup wizard stopped with this error:

after "please select GLUT location"

I've typed path where I have installed Freeglut and/or GLUT 3.7.6.+ bin files (unzipped).

then this script error message appears:

"the path you entered seems valid, but the wizard can't locate the following glut's library file:
glut32 in it. (Also tried prepending lib and appending .a and .lib)

glut32.dll I have installed also *.lib and *.inc files.

my "freeglut minGW 2.6.0.3 mp" folder content:

include (folder) : GL Folder: with 4 freeglut header files

lib (folder) : 2 files : libfreeglut + libfreeglut_static

freeglut 2.6.0.0 dll

2 text files

don't know why the setup stopped ;(
any help would be good!

thanks, frankolino
ps: if this is the wrong thread to place this post, please change to another, better place

Do YOU have the proper Library for YOUR compiler?
What is your Compiler?
What version is the Compiler?

What are the full file name of the Libraries?
What is the path to the Libraries?
Did you add the path to the Libraries to your project; so, the linker can find them?

hello Tim, I've found my mistake. I have installed MinGW (c:\MinGW) and have forgot to place Glut32.dll in bin folder and much more files in wrong directory, sorry for confusing. Installed all GLUT files new and simple OpenGL example with rectangle works

ciao, thanks, frankolino
