In the thread titled "Please Read Before Posting a Question" is a section on
the compile log, including headers, and linking libraries that covers the
mechanics of linking libraries.
Note that this is also a section in there in getting started with Glut that
you will also find helpful. It tells you what to get, where to get it, and
where to put it. If you have a library called something.lib, you probably
have the wrong library.
Finally, note that version 4 has been unsupported for about 6 years now.
Despite the "Beta" title, version 5 has been the release branch for many
years.

when i compile the sample program using the ms visual c++ it it good.
need help. thanks.
You shouldn't put your files in a path with spaces, but I doubt that's your problem.
Did you link with the library? Those undefined reference errors are what I always get when I forget to add a lib to my linker options.
where do i add lib in linker options??
