as you can tell i’m kinda new at openGL, i normally use Mesa on Unix systems to use openGL.
http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/
http://www.cs.csustan.edu/~rsc/SDSU/GLUTinstall.html
I found the above links which show how to use openGL on windows, but i can’t seem to get past step 6. When i got onto “Project” there is no option for “Settings”, which lead to a “Link” tab. The best I can find is Project > Properties > Linker. Am I completely lost?
can anyone help
Choose “Properties” (a window will come up)
On the left side of the window there is a tree, choose “Linker”, expand the sub-tree by clicking on the cross symbol. Then choose “Input”.
The string field labeled “Additional Dependencies” has a few lib files already set in it
Go to the end of this string field and enter:
opengl32.lib glut32.lib glu32.lib
thanks but i still didn’t work, i’m trying to run this simple program -
#include <GL/glut.h>
#define X_CENTRE 0.0
#define Y_CENTRE 0.0
#define LENGHT 1.0
void reshape(int width, int height)
{
glViewport(0,0,width,height);
glOrtho(-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
}
void display(void)
{
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3F(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex2f( X_CENTRE - LENGHT / 2, Y_CENTRE - LENGTH / 2);
glVertex2f( X_CENTRE - LENGHT / 2, Y_CENTRE + LENGTH / 2);
glVertex2f( X_CENTRE + LENGHT / 2, Y_CENTRE + LENGTH / 2);
glVertex2f( X_CENTRE + LENGHT / 2, Y_CENTRE - LENGTH / 2);
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
void init(void)
{
glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}
int main(int argc, char** argc)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize (400, 400);
glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100);
glutCreateWindow (argv[0]);
init();
glutDisplayFunc (display);
glutReshapeFunc (reshape);
glutMain ();
}
and end up getting all these errors
Output Window

thanks for your help anyway
I don’t know where your gl.h and glu.h came from, but gl.h should not contain namespaces (isn’t this a C++ Keyword?). Have you installed some GL-Framework other than GLUT, which replaces the default files?
You should either try to compile you project with the C++ compiler, or reinstall your VS (or at least replaces gl.h an glu.h with the ones, which VS contains).
