Can i run OPENGL code from dev-c++
Author
HI,
I''ve decided to learn opengl. And i''m wanting to know if i can run it in dev-c++.?
Also, take a simple opengl prog like this,
http://www.eecs.tulane.edu/www/Terry/OpenGL/Simple_Example.html#A%20Simple%20Example
it has the header file
#include <gltk.h>
which dev-c++ doesnt have, so whats the standard thing to do if you dont have a header file, is there a site that stores these?
thanks.
gltk.h is not a standard OpenGL header.
Since Dev C++ is built on top of GCC, you should be able to run anything you did in GCC.
That header has come from a custom package, so if you can find out where it came from, you might find a Dev C++ version of the library.
Check out http://nehe.gamedev.net/ for some great OpenGL tutorials. They all work in Dev C++.
EDIT: It looks like you are using Mesa OpenGL. Dev C++ comes with the standard OpenGL library. Try replacing gltk.h with gl/gl.h and gl/glu.h. You just have to use the OpenGL template and it will automatically include the GL libraries.
First make it work,
then make it fast.

ok,
I''m on the first windows tutorial on the http://nehe.gamedev.net site.
seem to be missing the #include <gl\glaux.h> header now,
any ideas ?

Unfortunatly, the first few tutorials were made when glaux was in use. You will have to do a search to find the glaux libraries.

well i found one on google whether its up to date or not i dont know, but i get loads of errors when i run the furst tutorial such as,
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glViewport@16''
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glMatrixMode@4''
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glViewport@16''
[Linker error] undefined reference to `glMatrixMode@4''
Hmm, perhaps you aren''t linking the OpenGL libraries.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Technically that not accurate. DevC++ by, default, uses MingW as its compiler. Although MingW is the windows port of GCC.
