configurating dev-c++ for openGL

Code:

#include <glut.h>

void mydisplay()
{
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) ;
    glBegin(GL_POLYGON) ;
        glVertex2f(-0.5, -0.5) ;
        glVertex2f(-0.5, 0.5) ;
        glVertex2f(0.5, 0.5) ;
        glVertex2f(0.5, -0.5) ;
    glEnd() ;
    glFlush() ;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    glutCreateWindow("simple") ;
    glutDisplayFunc(mydisplay) ;
    glutMainLoop() ;
}

i have the above code, but i have error compiling
i have the below error
glut.h: No such file or directory.

anyone can teach me how to do the linker and where to copy the openGL lib to?

thanks in advance


also, i wanna try using cygwin to do the compiling also
so same thing, where do i do the linker and where to copy the openGL lib to?

you have to include the include path for opengl. for DevC++, they install that in the DevC++ directory under gcc/Include/gl

i dun get it
so wat i am supposed to do?

a compiler option. look through your menus. alternatively change your include line to:

#include <gl\glut.h>

because opengl was installed in a subdirectory of your gcc main include directory

hmm i wanted to know this as well, thanx for clearing that up

I have DevC++ and it doesent have

Code:

#include <GL/glut.h>

I downlaod glut.h and put it into directory

Code:

include/GL/

, I am try to compile above code but still doesent work.
I am complete new to this.

you should probably just go ahead and do a full install of the latest DevC++ It installs it I can assure you

I dont know, I just now Download and Install latest DevC++. Still doesent have <GL/glut.h> so I went to DevC++ and looks into all directory to find glut.h but no luck. Can you rather tell me how to put inside the DevC++ all necessery files of Glut.h.
I download
GLUT 3.7.6 bin from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut/glut-3.7.6-bin.zip
and GLUT 3.7.6 src. from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut/glut-3.7.6-src.zip
But dont know what with that. Where to put all that files.
Curently working on Windows!
I know it is silly question but I dont know how to do it!

I went on DevC++ chect for upgrades and there it is find glut.h, But I then I went to download it, and all freeze on half way. I will try agin, maybe it will work.
It install glut.h and openglut.h, and now from above code i got losts of ->linker error <- is that above code wrong or I have to do something more with glut.h

Could it be that you haven't linked it to the OpenGL libraries?

Or does GLUT do this for you? I've never really used GLUT.

hey, here's what i found about using glut in Dev-C++:
http://www.physics.buffalo.edu/phy41...andDevC++.html

looks like im late to the scene, anyway you forgot to init glut....

Code:

glutInit(argc, argv);

Thank you "viaxd" about the page. I do that from the page and is working! Thank you!
Also "jackGL" you are write that I havent link to the glut.h librarie.!
Thanks!
