need a good "glut.h" link ? :)

[Lionheart008]

hello all. hello matthew.

Now I have installed code::blocks! (version 10.05)

Yesterday evening I wanted to install a first openGL example (GLUT) and
the setup wizard stopped with this error:

...after "please select GLUT location"

I've typed path where I have installed Freeglut ( a) minGW 2.6.0.3 and b) freeglut 2.6.0) and GLUT 3.7.6.+

bin files (unzipped). I tried to go both ways.

then this script error message appears:

"the path you entered seems valid, but the wizard can't locate the
following glut's library file:
glut32 in it. (Also tried prepending lib and appending .a and .lib)

glut32.dll I have installed also *.lib and *.inc files.

the file "glut32.lib " I cannot find in GLUT 3.7.6.+ zip file.

freeglut folder content:

"freeglut minGW 2.6.0.3 mp" folder content:

1) include (folder) : GL Folder: with 4 freeglut header files

2) lib (folder) : 2 files : libfreeglut + libfreeglut_static

3) freeglut 2.6.0.0 dll

4) 2 text files

don't know why the setup stopped ;(
any help would be good!

thanks, frank

Ok, I've attached a version of GLUT that I downloaded from here which has been specifically compiled with MinGW.

I installed the MinGW compiler separately & have it located at C:\MinGW, I've got glut32.dll at C:\MinGW\bin, glut.h is at C:\MinGW\include\GL & libglut32.a is located at C:\MinGW\lib.

Don't bother using the setup wizard, just create a new empty project, add an empty source file to the project & paste the code below into it.

Then link with...

-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32

[code=cpp]
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>

void keyboard(unsigned char key, int x, int y);
void display(void);


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutCreateWindow("GLUT Test");
glutKeyboardFunc(&keyboard);
glutDisplayFunc(&display);
glutMainLoop();

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


void keyboard(unsigned char key, int x, int y)
{
switch (key)
{
case '\x1B':
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
break;
}
}


void display()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex2f(-0.5f, -0.5f);
glVertex2f( 0.5f, -0.5f);
glVertex2f( 0.5f, 0.5f);
glVertex2f(-0.5f, 0.5f);
glEnd();

glFlush();
}
