Set up GLEW in CODE::BLOCKS

@jens:
The title of this section is "USING CODE::BLOCKS" , right? It seem painfully obvious to me that is what I am trying to do - without much success and very little in the way of concrete help. When a fresh download of CB will compile but not build/run the demo "Hello World" then I may be forgiven for thinking that something is amiss !
FYI the demo will compile and run from the cmd line and if you think I can't figure that out -you are correct.

Assuming that you actually are compiling your hello world app successfully at the command line, 1 of 2 things is likely:
1. You have multiple installations of same or similar GCC compiler which could be causing problems with the way C::B is detecting them. I suggest removing all GCC compilers but the one that works for you.
2. Your C::B compiler settings are screwed up. Probably want to clean out everything in \user\yourname\appdata\roaming\codeblocks

Few years ago I had similar problem, so I created new project, add libraries to link again and it worked. Magic? No. Simply libraries order makes a difference: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Link-Options.html Try to change libs order( maybe this one: freeglut glew32 glu32 opengl32 gdi32 winmm).

@dmoore:
Thankyou very much. I believe your second suggetion hit the target! CB is now working properly after I deleted CB folder from AppData (hidden) directory.
Now to test GLEW and get back to learning about graphics. Many thanks.

Just for clarification: "Using" here assumes you know how to compile an application (your GLEW application on the command line for example) and don't know i.e. how to transfer the settings from the command line to the IDE after reading the documentation.
If you interpret "Using" as "all questions that raise while working with C::B" than this is wrong. We cannot and will not provide support for each and every single framework issue that might raise. The reason is simple:
* We are no experts for other frameworks than the C::B SDK.
* There are plenty expert forums around for other frameworks/SDK's were experts talk.
* We want to focus on C::B development here only.
BTW: This is also explained clearly in the forum rules you agreed to. This is not because we don't want to help, we just don't want the forum to become a "general problem solver". That's it.
And as you see in the end: A screwed GCC installation has nothing to do with C::B.
