That actually creates an import library file which a linker uses during linking process and this is true for all compilers. You can link against dll directly with GCC (I heard), but I don't know how to do that. You may search this forum for some more details. :)

Actually this is a Windows feature. No need for that stuff on Mac or Linux.
FlyingIsFun1217:
Heh! Glad to know...
But right now my biggest problem is that it needs a.. null?!?!... dynamic link library : /

Just checked it and I'm getting same error. I believe there is some mismatch. glut.h also includes gl.h and glu.h. So there could be cross-dependencies. I'm not very sure, but it's my guess.
Sorry I've reached my limits. Both with respect to knowledge and time. It's time to sleep. Will post you updates if I get any solution. :)

Auria:
I can't help you with any Windows problem, sorry.
But why don't you try GLFW? As far as i have used it, it was better than GLUT - and since you can build it from source it is less likely that there will be mismatches
FlyingIsFun1217:
Well, after all of this confusion, I think I will try GLFW.
I remember stumbling across it at one point, but for some reason did not consider it : /
Thanks for the hint! While I try and get it set up, can you tell me if you have ever had any experience with it?
Thanks again!

----------Edit----------
Yeah, I'm spoiled. I'm not used to command-line building.
How can I go about building the glfw lib with minGW?
Thanks!

I need to stop posting first.
Compiled it, working on installing it.
Thanks for the continued support!
