Hello all.
I've been trying to set up code blocks for openGL and have been having a lot of trouble. I was wondering if anybody could lend me a hand.
ok, here's what I did.
1) downloaded freeglut, put freeglut.lib in the lib folder of mingw, put freeglut.h in include/gl of mingw.
2) I editted the wizard file to change glut32 to free glut. I did the same to the template file
3)Created a new project with the opengl template.
this is the code i've been trying to run (it's just the standard test program for codeblocks):
/*
* GLUT Shapes Demo
*
* Written by Nigel Stewart November 2003
*
* This program is test harness for the sphere, cone
* and torus shapes in GLUT.
*
* Spinning wireframe and smooth shaded shapes are
* displayed until the ESC or q key is pressed. The
* number of geometry stacks and slices can be adjusted
* using the + and - keys.

}
and this is the error ive been receiving:
||=== Build: Debug in LearningOpenGL (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lfreeglut|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
It seems like im close to get it working but ive been stuck here for a while, hence the appeal for help. I know it has something to do with the linkers.
pls help
