redeclaration of C++ built-in type
Author
I'm trying to get OpenGL set up with Dev C++ and it's not going so well... I get this error when I try to compile.
50 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\GL\glut.h
redeclaration of C++ built-in type `wchar_t'
From when I can gather I'm not the only 1 w\ this problem.
This problem is the standard is there can not be two identical type defs.
The reason this isn't a show stopper is VC++ isn't standards compliant, it just lets anything fly. So all VC++ users are fine, don't ever know this conflict exists. But the rest of us using standards compliant compilers such as Dev C++'s MinGW or what ever they call it... any way no 1 i have found so far has figured a solution, PLZ HELP!

UPDATE:
I commented out line 50 and that error goes away.
But then I get 10 million link errors :(
example:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `__glutInitWithExit'
wtf why does the opengl god hate me so...

Yes both are from Nate or who the guy who ported it to win32 was.
Is the commenting out line 50 a good idea or should i find a different work around?

Sure, hack it away - if the header doesn't work, it does you no good. I did the same thing when I started using VS.NET, which had changed the declaration for exit() and abort() - adding a noreturn attribute.
Your best bet in any case would be to recompile GLUT from source, that way, you'd be sure everything is clean. May I suggest FreeGLUT? Unlike the original GLUT, it is still being maintained, and the license terms are better (you can redistribute a modified copy). It also comes with a Dev-C++ package, apparently.

awesome thx man. Ok got an interesting development. Some 1 in another forum linked me 2 some OpenGL projects and I compiled 1 of them and ya know what?
NO LINK ERRORS!!!! WTF?! they use the exact same include I do for glut.h!
Heres the difference. It's a "Project" so it has it's own link parameters. But I copied them strait into my global link parameters so everything compiled should be the same now. But my sample code is still busted. How could 1 give me link errors and 1 not?!
Heres the exact linking I use:
-L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib" -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut32

*shrug* Your compiler hates you?
No, really, I don't know. Check that all the settings match, including library path options (-L) and so on and so forth...
edit - hmmm, ok...

ya it really really does hate me :(... it's gotta b something w\ the code or something i have no idea. just doesnt make sense this 1 project would compile while the other would give linking errors...

I just compile a file with:
#include <GL/glut.h>
thats it and i still get 3 errors... Heres the full compile log:

MAN....it's always the same, on every compiler, on every platform,...CHECK YOUR PROJECT AND LINKER SETTINGS!!!
...But if you cannot setup your little program to compile properly what if you're getting _real_ compile errors? Post them immediately to some boards?? Fine! *being sarcastic* :(
I'm sure we hear from you again if you add another 3rd party library...*gg*
best regards
