View Full Version : Error LNK 2001: unresolved external symbol


09-19-2001, 02:02 AM
Hello, guys !
I tried to port an OpenGL application from Unix to Windows. I added to the libraries glut32.lib, I included glut.h but all the function from "glut" referenced in the program are declared unresolved external symbol (Error LNK2001) when linking.
So, where is the error ?

Since it's a linking error, there shouldn't be any problem with the code.

Are you sure you have opengl32.lib and glut32.lib in your compilers lib-directory?

Yes, they are there, I checked that
opengl32.lib, glu32.lib, glut32.lib are in LIB
and I add also glut.h in Include\GL\, just in case ...
I tried all the stuff recomended for this type of error in the Help ...
Sorry to bother you with such a simple question ...

You haven't told us the exact error message yet. What does it say more than "... unresolved external..."? It must say what symbol it did not found.

Sounds like a possible header-lib mismatch. That is, using a header of one version of glut, but using a lib from a different version of glut. If you have more than one glut32.lib, make sure the one you want to use has the highest precedence.

it was exactly this, thanks ! I was using glut.h from one old version of the code and a new glut32.lib ; Now is working ! OK, now back to work !
