was wondering.....when using GLUT, does the program have to be based around glut / do i have to call the glutInit(); function, for me to be able to for example call the glutSolidSphere(); fuction, or could i call glutSolidSphere(); where ever I want, with out calling glutInit();???
ahh...hope that made sence!!!

why not write a program that calls glutSolidSphere() without calling glutInit() first and see what happens?
Im pretty sure you nee to call glutInit() and glutMainLoop() (or whatever its called) in order to use the rest of the library functions.
hmm...no matter what i do, i get errors such as:
c:\dev-c++\main.o(.text+0x17):main.cpp: undefined reference to `__glutInitWithExit@12'
i beleive it's because I can't quite figure out where to put the .dll file (or how to use it for that matter :P)
i looked at a tutorial, and it says to put it in C:\windows\command
but that directory dosn't exist...and it still dosn't work when I create it!?
can anyone help??
hmmm...i think i have it working now........as I put in glutSolidSphere();
and got no undefined refrence errors...but I still don't see the sphere...so can i safely assume that I need glutInit(); and stuff to get glut functions to work???
omg!!!
i have to learn to try before i post
got everything working now
thanx!
