How to get rid of linker errors?
Author
Hi everyone
Whenever I compile an OpenGL project, it gives me some linker errors and I have to manually add a linker file (or whatever) to the project. Isn't there a way out? Can't all the files get automatically linked to my projects? I am using Dev C++ IDE.
Thanks
Mr V

What all files? All files that exist in your harddrive?
If you want to use OpenGL, you have to link to OpenGL. I don't undrestand what you see so weird about that.

To be more specific, I always get a linker error in which all the functions in lglu32 library are unidentified. Until and unless I add the library -lglu32 in the linker section, the error does not go away.

You can probably set up a new project type that comes with the libs already specified...
the alternative would just be to create a basic openGL app with fundimental functionality, then copy it and use it as a base for future applications.

Yes, Mr Virtual, we know. Until you add the library, the linker does not know where to find these functions. Does that makes sense? What else can be done, have the linker search through your harddrive and the internet and link all the libraries it can find?
