Re: [Dev-C++] openGl

Hi Samuel,

This is also my first try at OpenGL. :-)

Your code does compile but first you need some changes. Here's how I did it.

I created a new OpenGL project using Dev-C++ 4.9.6.8. Select the OpenGL
template, and Dev-C++ creates the application. Then I remove the template
source file and created a new blank file.

I copy and pasted your example code into the editor and made some changes to
the first four lines.
Here it is:
#include <windows.h>
#include <gl/gl.h>
#include <gl/glut.h>

I've deleted #include <cstdlib>.
You see that I've included the Windows header file and the glut header file.
The rest of the code I leave untouched.

Then, in the Project Option dialog, Linker Options/Optional Libs or Object
files:
The textbox should show:
-lopengl32 -lglut32

I've added -lglut32.
The program now compiles without any errors.

But when I try to run it, there's an error. A required DLL file, GLUT32.DLL
was not found. I ran a search but couldn't find glut32.dll anywhere in my
harddisks. So I did an google search and found this site:
http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html
The DLL is found in here:
http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut/glut-3.7.6-bin.zip

The program now does run. :-)

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,
Yeoh
