hello, I am just looking for some openGL headers (here: c++ files) for some experiments with dev-c++:

for example "GL/glut.h". does anybody has a link for me for downloading? I've found a download version "glut-3.7.6.bin". I need not the absolutely current issue. thanks, best regards, nice day, frank

You can download it from here (http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html) frank but I would recommend using FreeGLUT (http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/) instead as GLUT hasn't been updated for quite some years.

Hi Frank,

here is some Dev-C++ information:
http://www.onecore.net/dev-c-opengl.htm

I would also recommend going for "new GLUT" like Matthew suggested, or avoid GLUT completely :)


Petr

P.S. I am moving this topic from TBGL area, as it is more C++ specific.

thanks matthew and petr for infos!

after I have installed glut package (via package manager: "glut 3.7.6.+") I wanted to run a simple "nehe lesson 5" example :P

I even found the damned "glaux.h" file for this example, but I cannot run the example:

=> not possible to init OpenGL window after this early line:

GLvoid ReSizeGLScene(GLsizei width, GLsizei height)


C:\DOKUME~1\Rechner\LOKALE~1\Temp\ccMNaaaa.o(.text+0x31) In function `Z13ReSizeGLSceneii':

[Linker error] undefined reference to `glViewport@16'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glMatrixMode@4'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glLoadIdentity@0'



the error list is much longer. I will check other possibilities.

nehe lesson 5 code as follow in part two of my post, the text was too long for edit window ;)

best regards, frank

Those Undefined Reference errors are because you aren't linking to the correct libraries.

I used to use Dev-C++ & created a page here (http://matthew-4gl.wikispaces.com/linking) on my Wikispace showing how to link correctly.

matthew
19-10-2010, 19:21
Ok, I've just reinstalled Dev-C++ & compiled NeHe Lesson05 which you'll find attached.

thanks matthew, the problem was that I have missed to link all libraries in linkerbox with


-lglaux -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm

thanks a lot for help! now dev-c++ is no more my enemy!

my result I attach as rar file. I am feeling good to got it run!
35 kb file size is very ok for me!

personal question: do you always! work with dev-c++? Or do you are working with c++ too? I wanted to avoid to work with visual studio c++, it's an unrestrained monster for me ;) other side my old laptop hasn't enough power to use it for working under win xp2.

servus, frank

I used to use Dev-C++ a lot in the past but now I use Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/) if I'm working on a large project. If I'm writing just a small program I use Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/).

You don't actually have to link to GLUT & Glaux for that NeHe example, the following will work fine. :)

hello all. hello matthew.

Now I have installed code::blocks! (version 10.05)

Yesterday evening I wanted to install a first openGL example (GLUT) and
the setup wizard stopped with this error:

...after "please select GLUT location"

I've typed path where I have installed Freeglut ( a) minGW 2.6.0.3 and b) freeglut 2.6.0) and GLUT 3.7.6.+

bin files (unzipped). I tried to go both ways.

then this script error message appears:



"the path you entered seems valid, but the wizard can't locate the
following glut's library file:
glut32 in it. (Also tried prepending lib and appending .a and .lib)


glut32.dll I have installed also *.lib and *.inc files.

the file "glut32.lib " I cannot find in GLUT 3.7.6.+ zip file.

freeglut folder content:

"freeglut minGW 2.6.0.3 mp" folder content:

1) include (folder) : GL Folder: with 4 freeglut header files

2) lib (folder) : 2 files : libfreeglut + libfreeglut_static

3) freeglut 2.6.0.0 dll

4) 2 text files


don't know why the setup stopped ;(
any help would be good!

thanks, frank

Ok, I've attached a version of GLUT that I downloaded from here (http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/computing/using-glut-with-mingw/) which has been specifically compiled with MinGW.

I installed the MinGW compiler separately & have it located at C:\MinGW, I've got glut32.dll at C:\MinGW\bin, glut.h is at C:\MinGW\include\GL & libglut32.a is located at C:\MinGW\lib.

Don't bother using the setup wizard, just create a new empty project, add an empty source file to the project & paste the code below into it.

Then link with...

-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32
