I installed TDM-GCC and I am getting the same error messages

Looking at your code, it seems you are using:

* freeglut

* glew

* the files are 32bit

Did you install the 32-bit version of TDM-GCC? If so you should make sure you have an up-to-date version of glew32 and freeglut32:

Windows binaries for freeglut:

http://files.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/development/GLUT/freeglut-MinGW.zip

Windows binaries for glew:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/1.10.0/glew-1.10.0-win32.zip/download

Make a 'lib' folder and 'include' folder. Copy the headers into /include and the libs into /lib

Copy all the header files from this hard-coded path also into ./include

F:\school\csci\opengl\SB5\Src\GLTools\include

Compile with:

g++ -Iinclude -Llib -lglew32 -lfreeglut Triangle.cpp

It's just a guess for what the compile line would look like. You are basically telling the compiler that all the .h files are in ./include and all the .a files are in ./lib.

You are also "utilizing" the glew32 and freeglut libraries, which are the libglew32.a and libfreeglut.a files respectively.

As a sidenote: I'm not sure why your teachers have not just set up a proper makefile with a working directory structure.

It's possible to create a project setup that compiles on both windows and (at least) Ubuntu-derived Linux as well as OS X without having to do anything but "make."

All you need is to create win32 linux osx folders inside "lib" folder and create a slightly more complicated makefile manually.

It's not the best solution, but it will work for the students.

For example you might not want to add the linux libs, since you typically install these libs with package managers, or manually with "make install." It would cover 32 and 64bit.

Better than hard-coding in network paths at least.

Oh and, is GLTools a library? If it is, then you need to compile it into a library, as well as include its headers.

k, thanks. I was currently checking to see if I was using the 32 bit versions of libfreeglut.a and libglew.a

Btw. did you add C:\TDM-GCC\bin to the PATH enviroment variable?

Because you need to execute g++ from the directory that contains Triangle.cpp

Come to think of it:

It looks like you are still using Dev-C++, which uses an old gcc. Probably. Uninstall it, and make sure it's removed from PATH.

Because you would not get the same error messages on windows, if you installed TDM-GCC. I think the installer adds C:\TDM-GCC\bin to PATH during the installation.

Also, make sure TDM-GCC is the same system type as the libraries you are trying to use with it. If g++ --version is 64-bit, you'll want the 64-bit libraries and vice versa.

no I uninstalled Dev C++

It is going to take me some time to make sure that I am doing everything you told me to do

I installed the 32 bit version of TDM

I set my new path to the bin dir SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\TDM-GCC-32\bin if that is the set path that you are talking about

I need to see if I did everything you said but when I put into the command line:

this is the command line you told me to do

g++ -IF:\school\csci\opengl\SB5\Src\GLTools\include -IF:\school\csci\opengl\SB5\freegl

I set my path to the bin dir and then go to my working dir
