Folks,
Downloaded the glut.dll and placed it in my WINDOWS directory. I am running XP. Have downloaded the redbook samples. It appears that those are windows executables. When I run them I get an error that the glut.dll is not found.
Does this dll need to be registered or installed?
I am not a windows user and am unfamiliar with dll issues.
Thanks
And a follow up…
Am using mingw as my compile environment.
This has worked fine for strictly opengl stuff but when I add glut calls …
This is what I get when I try and compile the point.c example from the redbook.
$ g++ -I/mingw/include point.c -o point.exe -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32
C:/DOCUME~1/e39640/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccSWbaaa.o(.text+0x1c):point.c: undefined reference to __glutInitWithExit' C:/DOCUME~1/e39640/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccSWbaaa.o(.text+0x37):point.c: undefined reference to__glutCreateWindowWithExit’
C:/DOCUME~1/e39640/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccSWbaaa.o(.text+0x53):point.c: undefined reference to `__glutCreateMenuWithExit’
…etc
…etc
Is this because the dll is not properly installed? Or am I missing a library? This seems to be the correct library order based on previous posts.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
