Title: Open Gl Help.
Post by: Madhatt3r on September 29, 2006, 07:56:35 am

Okay I've been trying to start learning opengl for quite some time now. I've been trying to learn it from this book I bought that uses OpenGl and Glut. However though no matter what I try nothing will compile. I've google OpenGl and Compileing it a million times and have tried a couple of different things but the program always gives me errors. What I am asking for and I know this is a alot but will someone give me alittle help and get me started. Give me a list of maybe things I could be  doing wrong? I'm running Windows Xp I've installed the .libs and all the other stuff a couple of times and nothing. Please I know this is asking alot someone please give me alitte guide on how to install Code::Blocks with or add the correct files and what not to get openGL to compile..

Thanks.

There is not much to do: Install the MinGW compiler framework and the MinGW GLUT library. Then setup your project's include path and libs accordingly. BTW: Did you try the OpenGL / GLUT wizard that ships with C::B? They do this for you and should work right-out-off-the-box.
Anyway: What does the compiler complain? What are the errors? It's much easier to help if you post the compile log (see my sig).
With regards, Morten.
