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

[Daniel W. <dan...@ta...>]

Thanks once again for the input Scott,=20
I have upgraded to 4.9.8.5 and really enjoy the new environment. =20
The errors are down to the glut32.lib file...=20
=20
6 C:\Dev-C++\Lib\glut32.lib unterminated string or character constant
6 C:\Dev-C++\Lib\glut32.lib possible real start of unterminated constant

I redownloaded the glut files from Nate Robin's site which was linked =
from the openGL site...=20
http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut.html
=20
Any other suggestions?
=20
Thanks in advance,=20

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++.
