Re: [Dev-C++] OpenGL with Glut blues...

[Scott S. <age...@co...>]

The .dll is only for linking dynamically, where you use a .dll and it is 
distributed with your file versus being put in the .exe. Make sure you 
have all of the required .a files linked, and none of your headers are 
in the bin list. Or, try pulling the bin thing from the list of headers 
and libs and see what happens. If you can get access to another 
compiler, try using it. I am not sure if you have tried reinstalling 
Dev-C++ yet. Have you? Also, try upgrading to the latest version of Dev-C++.
