How do you fully install opengl???

(1/3) > >>

crinkle:
I can make a new opengl project just fine, and it brings up the default code with the spinny triangle. So i thought all was well, then i tried pasting some code in from one of these places and got all sorts of errors:

I have tried:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming#The_basics_arc

and

http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/

Every bit of code on those gives a whole bunch of errors, reinstalling codeblocks didnt help, whats the matter?

stahta01:
Since you are keeping the errors a secret; we have to assume you are the problem.

NOTE: The next likely candidate is your compiler setup or library installation.

Oh I am a big turnip!

Ok heres the code:


--- Code: ---/* Using the standard output for fprintf */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/* Use glew.h instead of gl.h to get all the GL prototypes declared */
#include <glew.h>
/* Using the GLUT library for the base windowing setup */
#include <glut.h>

/* ADD GLOBAL VARIABLES HERE LATER */

int init_resources(void)
{
  /* FILLED IN LATER */
  return 1;
}

void onDisplay()
{
  /* FILLED IN LATER */
}

void free_resources()
{
  /* FILLED IN LATER */
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  /* Glut-related initialising functions */
  glutInit(&argc, argv);
  glutInitContextVersion(2,0);
  glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA|GLUT_DOUBLE|GLUT_DEPTH);
  glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
  glutCreateWindow("My First Triangle");

  /* Extension wrangler initialising */
  GLenum glew_status = glewInit();
  if (glew_status != GLEW_OK)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", glewGetErrorString(glew_status));
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }

  /* When all init functions run without errors,
  the program can initialise the resources */
  if (1 == init_resources())
  {
    /* We can display it if everything goes OK */
    glutDisplayFunc(onDisplay);
    glutMainLoop();
  }

  /* If the program exits in the usual way,
  free resources and exit with a success */
  free_resources();
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
--- End code ---

and here are the errors: http://imgur.com/H2R00O9
(isnt there a way to just COPY AND PASTE the darn text from the build messages screen????????)

I installed glut as like the readme.txt file said:

* Put the .dll in system32 directory
* put the .h file in "CodeBlocks\MinGW\include" and "CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\GL"
* put the .lib "CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib"

Restarted program and the code, and it gives those errors...

Of course there is -> right click copy to clipboard or copy selection to clipboard...

crinkle:
when you click or even "hold-click" on a line, it highlights it all and then the main editor goes to whatever part of your code has the problem... its not selectable text.
