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

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

I have uninstalled Dev-C++ and installed from scratch. =20

Okay, uninstalling and installing from scratch seems to be a bad thing.=20
I feel like I'm going backwards.  :)


Now, with 4.9.8.0, I can't even compile the default examples(File
Editor).  In my compiler log, it shows...=20

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\FileEditor\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\FileEditor\Makefile.win" all
Execution terminated

Then in the compiler tab it shows... =20
2 C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\FileEditor\2 unable to run program file.
=20
Thanks,=20

If you need it, I can send you my headers to see if that works.
