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

[Zonnet <gko...@zo...>]

I really hope you downloaded all of the DevCPP program. I had this once,
that also gave strange behaviour. Please read the download side very
carefully, as it's not very cleare what to install. Also: the on-line
update for the core part of the IDE does not work!
It would be helpfull if there was a list of steps on the web-side as to
what to do to start using this IDE.
wkr,
Gerke
