Hey all, Trying to get into GL coding, but keep failing miserably. I am currently following the "OpenGL Programming Guide" book, copying tutorials into DevCpp and trying them out. However, they just don't work. Here is the code I've tried #include <GL/glut.h> void display (void) { glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glVertex3f(0.25, 0.25, 0.0); glVertex3f(0.75, 0.25, 0.0); glVertex3f(0.75, 0.75, 0.0); glVertex3f(0.25, 0.75, 0.0); glEnd(); glFlush(); } void init (void) { glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0); } int main(int argc, char** argv){ glutInit(&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB); glutInitWindowSize(250,250); glutInitWindowPosition(100,100); glutCreateWindow("Example 1-2: a white square"); init(); glutDisplayFunc(display); glutMainLoop(); return 0; } And I'm linking with: -lopengl32 -lglu32 I get linker errors. Here is my compile log: Compiler: Default compiler Building Makefile: "D:\Programming\RED BOOK EXAMPLES\1-2 white square\Makefile.win" Executing make clean rm -f square.o Project1.exe gcc.exe -c square.c -o square.o -I"D:/Dev-Cpp/include" gcc.exe square.o -o "Project1.exe" -L"D:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -lopengl32 -lglu32 square.o(.text+0x1c):square.c: undefined reference to `__glutInitWithExit' square.o(.text+0x37):square.c: undefined reference to `__glutCreateWindowWithExit' square.o(.text+0x52):square.c: undefined reference to `__glutCreateMenuWithExit' square.o(.text+0x79):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glColor3f' square.o(.text+0x87):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glBegin' square.o(.text+0xa8):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glVertex3f' square.o(.text+0xc9):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glVertex3f' square.o(.text+0xea):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glVertex3f' square.o(.text+0x10b):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glVertex3f' square.o(.text+0x112):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glEnd' square.o(.text+0x119):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glFlush' square.o(.text+0x14b):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glClearColor' square.o(.text+0x159):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glMatrixMode' square.o(.text+0x160):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glLoadIdentity' square.o(.text+0x18e):square.c: undefined reference to `_imp__glOrtho' square.o(.text+0x1da):square.c: undefined reference to `glutInitDisplayMode' square.o(.text+0x1ee):square.c: undefined reference to `glutInitWindowSize' square.o(.text+0x202):square.c: undefined reference to `glutInitWindowPosition' square.o(.text+0x21f):square.c: undefined reference to `glutDisplayFunc' square.o(.text+0x224):square.c: undefined reference to `glutMainLoop' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make.exe: *** [Project1.exe] Error 1 Execution terminated Can someone please help? I'm sure the problem isn't too complicated, I just can't fix it.

Sorry about that, have edited my lnker options a few times, forgot glut this time. However, still 21 errors

It seem you have your libraries so the only thing that is not present is the
#include <gl\gl.h> and if glut.h is in the "gl" directory also then you should change it to #include <gl\glut.h>

These are what I use for includes: windows.h, gl\gl.h, gl\glu.h, and gl\glaux.h. My linker looks like this: -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglaux -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lodbc32 -lodbccp32. I never get any linker errors or include errors with this. Don't ask me what all is in the library:P I forgot, but found them in google. BTW, i'm using Dev C++ too.

Click on the project menu and go to project options. Find the box with the heading linker.

add this to it:
-lopengl32
-lglut (or -lglut32 cant remember)

that should do it:)

Dosser,
The easiest way to start OpenGL applications with Dev-C++ is using the project template. When you install Dev-C++, an OpenGL project template comes with it. When you install GLUT package(pak), a GLUT project template is automatically added into Dev-C++.

The project template configures all settings for me, for example, linking required libraries. I only need to replace my source codes into the project. It is very convenient to me to create new OpenGL application right away with Dev-C++.

Try the GLUT project template first and compile the sample code. If there is no error, then, everything is ready to go. If there are errors (link or compile errors) then, you can tell the setting of Dev-C++ is broken.

Here is instructions if you don't know where is glut project template;
File >> New >> Project...
"New project..." window is pop up, then select:
Multimedia tab
you will see glut and OpenGL project template icons.

By the way, the link option for GLUT app should be like this:
-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lwinmm -lgdi32

I'm starting to think there's a problem with my GLUT

I've been trying out the template programs, and can get the standard "openGL" program to work (using windows to open the window, respond to key press etc.). I don't have an option for a glut program, but do have 'freeglut' option. This doesn't link properly. Here are the errors from the default freeglut program.

Should I just give up on DevCpp and try again with MSVC, or will I get the same problems there too?

Dosser,
I use glut.3.7.6+.DevPak instead of freeglut.

Here is the link you can download it. (the 2nd one)
