[Mingw-users] [mingw - StupidTechiQuestions] Cannot link SDL+OpenGL example with MinGW

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

I am trying to compile the SDL+OpenGL example that can be found in the
SDL documentation (I got it from the Windows SDLRef.chm). It is also here
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~tverweij/stuff/example.c

I am using MinGW (currently the most recent MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe installation)
to compile & link, (I've also tried the older MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe release). I
installed SDL from the SDL-devel-1.2.8-mingw32.tar.gz archive. I also tried
1.2.7, since I read that there were some problems with 1.2.8. Unfortunately
this does not make a difference.

Compiling works fine.
Trying to link without any libraries (obviously) generates the following
errors:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~tverweij/stuff/errors_more.txt
If I add all libs I think are required, only a few of the errors are gone:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~tverweij/stuff/errors_less.txt

Most of the link errors remain there. Many SDL and OpenGL related functions
cannot be found for some reason. Only SDL_Init, SDL_Quit and SDL_GetError suddenly
seem to be found, but all of the other references are still undefined.

The linker does not complain about any of the libraries. If I change any of
the options to -lblahblah, then it does complain, so I guess the libraries are
found. (I have added the MinGW\bin directory to the PATH environment variable)
Any help would be welcome.
