I use OpenGL since a long time for Windows, and now i changed to linux and want to use openGL. But i have some problems with linking GLUT. He can’t find the Glut lib. There is no glut.a file.
Can anyone help me?
the dynamic lib should be something like
“libglut.so.*” (all libraries start with “lib” in
linux, “.so” means it is a dynamic lib). search in
/lib, /usr/lib, or /usr/X11R6/lib
I installed the glut from opengl.org and copied that libaries to /usr/lib. have i to copie it also to /usr/X11R6/lib and /lib?
Te compiler still can’t find -lglut
Did you manually copy the files to /usr/lib ?
You’ll need to run ldconfig then…
open a terminal, log in as root and execute: /sbin/ldconfig
ohh! i forgot that! I’ll try now!
ok.m i completely reinstalled glut, and didn’t forgot to run ldconfig!
Yes, that was my mistake! thanks for the fast repling!
