Linker Error.

I am currently trying to guess what weird linker errors you encountered. Once I get that out of the way, I'll try to answer.

Well, here's the code:

//An animated square
#include
#include
#define GL_PI 3.14159f

GLfloat xRot=2.0f,yRot=5.0f;
GLfloat windowWidth,windowHeight;

void RenderScene(void)
{
GLfloat x,y,z,angle;
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

glPushMatrix();
glRotatef(xRot,1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glRotatef(yRot,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);

glBegin(GL_POINTS);
z=-50.0f;

for(angle=0.0f;angle<=(2.0f*GL_PI)*3.0f;angle+=0.1f)
{
x=50.0f*sin(angle);
y=50.0f*cos(angle);
glVertex3f(x,y,z);
z+=0.5f;
}
glEnd();

glPopMatrix();
glFlush();
}

void SetupRC(void)
{
glClearColor(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
}

void ChangeSize(GLsizei w, GLsizei h)
{
if(h==0)
h=1;

glViewport(0,0,w,h);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();

if(w<=h)
{
windowHeight = 250.0f*h/w;
windowWidth = 250.0f;
}
else
{
windowWidth = 250.0*w/h;
windowHeight = 250.0f;
}

glOrtho(0.0f,windowWidth,0.0f,windowHeight,1.0f,-1.0f);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();

}

int main(void)
{
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB);
glutCreateWindow("Spring");
glutFullScreen();
glutDisplayFunc(RenderScene);
glutReshapeFunc(ChangeSize);

SetupRC();
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}

AND THE ERRORS:
[Linker error] undefined reference to glFinish@0'
[Linker error] undefined reference to wglSwapBuffers@4'
[Linker error] undefined reference to wglSwapBuffers@4'
[Linker error] undefined reference to wglGetCurrentContext@0'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `wglGetCurrentDC@0'
etc.

I'm going nuts... plz help me.

You need to link to opengl32.lib/glu32.lib/glaux.lib??



: ) Tell me if it works.

It seems that you've missed glaux.a. Pass it to your linker. If this doesn't work, try to update/reinstall MinGW.

don't forget that for mingw(the compiler used by DevCpp), the order of libraries MATTERS!
I think that the correct order is glut then glu then opengl, so the command line will be: -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 , but I'm not sure, so if this didn't work try all the different possibilities :) (3! = 6... not much)

Well, the order matters? I always use "gcc source.c -mwindows -lopengl32 -lglu32" (I haven't got into need of glut32 yet) to compile, and it works quite well.

yes, the order matter... I'm not sure what's the correct order, but I'm sure that the order matters, here's my proof

Uh, yes, but that's only important if the object files and libraries passed actually contain the same named functions (ie: weak symbols). None of the OpenGL, glu32, or glut32 libraries contain conflicting function names at all, so the order does not matter in this case.

To the OP: If you've setup Dev-C++ to link to those OpenGL libraries properly, then you shouldn't have any problems. I've never used Dev-C++, so I'm afraid I won't be of much help... :(

Also, I'm pretty sure #pragma comment(lib, ...) is Microsoft specific. Could be wrong, though.
