Hello all. I have a feeling this is one of those types of problems that gets posted regularly, but a search didn’t answer the question.
I’m trying to compile a program with an OpenGL FLTK window, and I’m getting
[Linker error] undefined reference to FL_GL_Window… everything
I’m using Dev-C++ on Windows XP.
Here is the Dev-C++ FLTK demo that does work:
__________________________________________________
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Box.H>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
Fl_Window *window;
Fl_Box *box;
window = new Fl_Window (300, 180);
box = new Fl_Box (20, 40, 260, 100, "Hello World!");
box->box (FL_UP_BOX);
box->labelsize (36);
box->labelfont (FL_BOLD+FL_ITALIC);
box->labeltype (FL_SHADOW_LABEL);
window->end ();
window->show (argc, argv);
return Fl::run();
}

And here’s the simple OpenGL FLTK program from

that does not work:

Other OpenGL FLTK windows give similar results. What am I missing?
