O M F G AHAHAHAHAH YYYEEESSSS AHAHAHAHAH I DID IT THANK U ALL THANK U SO F*ING MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

In dev c++ the actual lib name is "libfreeglut.a" or what ever but it's prefaced with "lib" which u do NOT INCLUDE in the command line linker!! AHAHAH YYEESSSS!!!!!!!!!! 04:13 lets see i started this at what... 21:00 last nite? oohhh ya...

Well my Open GL learning can commence after some HALO fragging thank you all so dearly for helping me through this you guys rock!

well i got the templates compiling fine but the fucking sample code from the book is still fucked.... jesus christ it just never ends...

Well this time all the Linking errors are for gl and glu... atleast glut is fixed it seems.

Any ideas on where to get good versionf of the gl and glu headers and libs?

Well I downloaded a VC++ 2005 beta and compiled the sample code in there and it works (2 warnings but... it works.) I really don't like VC++ its huge, tons more to learn if I'm gonna use it for this entire open gl book.

But it works... I think I'm gonna call it a nite... get some sleep b4 i continue... thanks fo your help everyone.

Any ideas? any one?

I've got a few options here...
For headers I have:
glut.h
freeglut.h

These are the ones I have been working with.
Then I have these libs:

libglut.a
libglut32.a
libfreeglut.a

When I include freeglut.h and link to libfreeglut.a I get the fewest linking errors.

Now I also have several header files that give me wierd syntax errors:

fglut.h
freeglut_std.h
freeglut_ext.h
glutf90.h

All these just give me strange errors.

Well any way with calling freeglut.h and linking to: -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lfreeglut

I get this compile log. Much shorter but... Still no moss...

OMFG!!! BREAK THROUGH!!! look look look!!!

If I link:
-lopengl32 -lglu32 -lfreeglut -lglut

Notice -lfreeglut AND -lglut THEN IT COMPILES!!!! Only problem is just glut is a older file and it wants opengl.dll to run my finaly exe and I only have opengl32.dll... So i'm looking for opengl.dll if any one has it or knows where I can get it please tell me.

Nope nope nope...

Well I got the dll i needed then it needed another dll and another and another and it just went on and on till finaly it gave me some error about my entry point... So f* it just f* it...

Here's what I'm gonna do. I'll post the source of the file I'm trying to compile and if any one has it in their heart to see if they can compile it, and they do and it works. Tell me how lol...

I still am calling the freeglut header, change it to what ever glut you have. Also I'm calling the std lib b/c with out it I get an error calling the exit(); function but this include wansn't in the original code so feel free to take it out. Besides that it's all exactly the same as what was in the book (strait from the book's CD actualy)

Try -lfreeglut -glu32 -lopengl32. Library ordering does matter, with later libraries filling dependencies of earlier libraries (freeglut depends on opengl32 so you'd list it before opengl32).

Nope :(

Tried all the lib and header combinations w\ this too.

I'm really out of ideas for this.

I'm using a beta version of MSVC++ 2005 which works i guess. I get 2 errors and have to convert everything to these clunky "projects" but it compiles and I can finaly learn OpenGL so... I guess MS wins out again...

Looks like I get the head ache of learning some huge new MS program while trying to learn OpenGL too, w00t.
