Problem setting up GLEW in CODE::BLOCKS.
Trying to setup example 1.2 from “OpenGL The BOOK “ which requires GLEW.
I have searched all over the net but cannot find the procedure (thousands of others seem to have had the same problem !). The example does NOT use static linking. I am using C::B 10.0.5 on a Vista 64b O.S. I have tried using both the 64bit binaries and the source code to implement GLEW without success. A step by step lesson on making GLEW work would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You know, i just can't believe that I used to say the same old newbie lie that "I have searched the entire net...". Now that I am thinking about it, I feel so embarrassed myself :-[
If you have done your research, give me the last 1000 searches you have done, including this forum here, Google, and any other candidate searching method..because I have seen this question getting answered infinite times by now :/
* Search this forum please...
* Use any search engine of your choice with keywords like "codeblocks glew"
* Leave the enthusiasm on the side and get your butt on the chair by doing some research if you want to take programming seriously man! I am not attacking you, just shaking you a bit to wake up.

I wonder how rude you could be if you really tried ?
While there are many sites that purport to tell people what to do I have yet to find one on this or any other forum that shows HOW to do. Contrary to your ignorant rant I have tried to implement the "instructions" about recompiling the source codes etc. but so far without success. You would do well to remember the old adage "if you can't find anything good to say shut up !!".

http://www.gamedev.net/topic/583816-how-to-statically-link-glew-using-mingw/
The search term is "glew mingw" without the quotes...
Also please read the FAQ at the wiki -> http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ

First of all, I would like to warn you to watch your tongue; i have not spoken to you in this tone and i can admit that i was on purpose a bit strict with you for your own good. I gave you powerful advice to realize that if you go to work and say to your boss that you don't know how to sort a linkage issue, you just lost the game AND your job.
Now, to get some serious business here, I have searched this forum and found in 2 seconds 4 related articles to GLEW and if I am not mistaken, they have something to do with linkage; i did not pay much attention because i care the less.

Cheers
P.S.: Don't say "shut up" so easily to people you don't know. It's a small world we live in and you never know; you might need a job in the near future and i might be your candidate boss. At least, take this as an advice!
