Code::Blocks 10.05 and OpenGL (C Compilation Errors)

(1/1)

Flotonic:
I'm confused. I add opengl32.lib as a library, but, when compiling that, Code::Blocks gives me this error:


--- Code: ---opengl32.lib: File not recognized: File format not recognized.
--- End code ---

It isn't compiled due to this. When I leave opengl32.lib out of the library stuff, the program compiles, but I'm greeted with a new error:


--- Code: ---The procedure entry point glRotatef could not be located in the dynamic link library OPENGL.dll.
--- End code ---

OPENGL.dll is trying to be used instead of opengl32.dll, which is what should be used. However, opengl32.lib must be tacked on as a library in order for the program to use opengl32.dll.

Is there a specific opengl32.lib that I should be using made just for Code::Blocks? The ones I've tried off the Internet give me unpleasing results.

Thanks in advance!

Ceniza:
There is no such thing as a specific opengl32.lib for Code::Blocks as, you see, Code::Blocks is just an IDE. Please check which compiler you are using, even the version may come in handy, and run a Google search on that for OpenGL support.

From what I see you seem to have a library already, but it is either broken or not for your compiler.

Flotonic:
Thanks. I was just assuming that Code::Blocks, although and IDE, had already somehow checked the opengl32.lib and denied it. You have some good logic, though.

I decided to do a little bit of research and I came across a tutorial for setting up MinGW and OpenGL. I followed it and all worked well. With the problem solved, how would I go about locking this topic?
