I have recently come accrow GLEW. Compiled the glew32mxs.lib and glew32mx.lib librarys and included them, as well as included the glew.h file in my code and then tried to use glGenBuffers I get a link error :
unresolved external symbol __imp____glewGenBuffers
This looks like a simple linking error, some problem with the configuration of your project. Did you specify everything right for your use of the external library? Exactly what you need to do depends on the development tool you are using. I can’t help you with details on VC++, as I’m not using it myself. (I use Dev-C++, it’s free and good enough for my purposes.)
