Thread: GLUT on Linux

    GLUT on Linux

    What libraries do I need to link up with to use GLUT on linux? I'm linking with glut, gl, and glu and it still says I'm missing a few functions. They all start with X and have something to do with extensions.

    try this:

    -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lX11 -lXmu -lm

    dont forget to specify the lib paths:

    -L/usr/local/lib

    and the include paths:

    -I/usr/local/include

    It still gives me the same errors.
    Here's some of them:
    Code:
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XGetExtensionVersion'
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XFreeDeviceList'
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XListInputDevices'
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XFreeDeviceState'
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XOpenDevice'
    /usr/lib/libglut.so: undefined reference to 'XSelectExtensionState'
    Here's what I used to compile:
    Code:
    g++ -g -o gluttest main.o -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lglut -lGL -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -ldl -lGLU -lX11 -lXmu -lm

    Add -lXi and see what happens.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
