FREEGLUT can work with C::B as default ( Now on Wiki for C::B )

You can build yourselves:
--- Code: ---./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install
--- End code ---

Ahh yea, as I previously stated, the tutorial is about pre-compiled binaries. Those that are new to C::B have a hard time if I go into explaining how to compile the code too. I am trying to keep this as simple as possible for them. However, can you take a screen shot of those three above related files you mention after compiling ? Can you also write up a small tutorial on how to compile it and it showing those files for linux users ? I would love to add that to the wiki and I can go into more detail on how to use this in Linux for Linux users.

I'm on Win7.
If you want to compile the svn code yourselves on windows, you should have msys and mingw/mingw64 gcc compiler.
then you can follow my words:
--- Code: ---./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install
--- End code ---
You 'll see precompiled libs in /mingw.

Ok well that's my point, I tried that on Windows and I still never got those files.. what I been asking you for several messages now, is can you SHOW me where you find those files.

I think the default lib name of newest freeglut (svn) is libglut-0.dll, libglut.a and libglut.dll.a."
I cannot find any of those files even if I compile it under windows using MSys. I'm asking you to please show me where you got this info. Your saying stuff that I have not been able to see verified and if there is some proof of it, I would like to correct my mistake on the Wiki. Otherwise, your confusing all the new ones to this topic and it has no barring on this thread. So I ask again please, in kindness and all due respect to you, to show me where I need to correct my mistake. Because so far, I cannot find those files even AFTER I compile it.
I still end up with freeglut.dll.
UPDATE EDIT : I think I get now what your trying to say, it makes those files durring compile time. I paid attention to the output options of GCC more when it compiled the DLL.
EXAMPLE : --out-implib, libexample_dll.a
You can use that type of command when compiling. But as a default, without that command, it will make a DLL with the freeglut code. So its how I missed it in the first place. But again, back to what this thread is about, there is no need to make those pre-compiled libraries since the DLL works on both linux and Windows for C::B already. However, I have seen a couple reports on how people have tried to do it with a DLL and failed. My humble opinion on that is that they just don't know how to do it properly. I have read a few posts on other forums that they were successful at it for linux.

I don't know how you build the code, and I use the lastest svn code, don't you?
This is the images:

Yes, I use the latest and I still do not get those odd files. So we'll just have to call this one a mystery.
