Hi BluMo (What about this Variation?)!
I'm really sorry in advance because of what I can tell you 'bout devCPP =
and OpenGL examples.  I'm a beginner to OpenGL and C++, too.  My =
advantage:  I've got a friend who's been doing this kind a codework for =
years.  He uses GLUT and C++ on his MAC.  So what I was doing is making =
his code work under windows.  I tried devCPP long time and it nearly =
made me capitulate.  Then I tried "JensFileEditor & GCC" and guess what: =
I didn't have to change more than replacing slashes in paths by =
backslashes and
{glutGameModeString(...); glutEnterGameMode();} by {glutFullScreen();} =
and it compiled and ran without any problems.
So I say I stick to the software that meets my needs.  DevCPP is great =
in style and comfort, but for me it's rather useless. Sorry.

St0fF.

  Subject: [Dev-C++] Hello


  Hello all,
      This is my first post to this list.  My name is Joseph, you can =
call me Blumojo (or "blu" or "mojo" for short).  I really like Dev-cpp =
and am thinking of sending a donation if I can get the following to =
work.  I am working on NeHe's OpenGL tutorials =
(http://nehe.gamedev.net/)  which are really good - even for a novice =
like me, but the code he gave was for Visual CPP.  I have worked through =
a couple of the problems, but have become "stumped" on lesson 7 where =
the compiler has given me:
  "implicit declaration of function int free()"
  In his explanation, this function is used to free memory used to store =
texture data.

      First of all, has anyone worked through these tutorials and ported =
them to Dev-CPP/MinGW?  If so, I would greatly appreciate the code to =
help me along.  Second, is there another (perhaps better) way to free =
this memory?

  Thank you all so much for the help!
