Yes, you're right.

The only thing one needs to distribute the program are the required DLLs.

But he's getting an error saying it was not found, so Windows doesn't include the glu32.dll file by default.

let's say i compiled a program and send it to a friend,

that friend need to install manually the glut32.dll in his computer too?

i didnt see any other program that require that and why other programs didnt made me do that?

if the console window is because of the main() function how can i cancel it?

is there any tutorial's that can teach me how to run it with no error's or unwanted console's? tongue.png

Thanks again Skye you're very helpful smile.png

Alternatively, you can put the .dll file in the same directory of your .exe file upon distribution if the user doesn't have it.

Also, if you want to get rid of the console, visit this link here and it will show you how: http://www.lighthouse3d.com/opengl/glut/

I haven't tried it myself because I always prefer to have the console up for debug output (especially when I'm writing a game dev tool) so I can see the value of certain factors effecting my simulation. Hopefully this helps!
