Thread: Problem with OpenGL tutorial

If you didn't notice that before, there it is. You would use -lopengl32 to link libopengl32.a to your project and -lglu32 to link libglu32.a in the same fashion. In dev-c++ you do this by going to linker options and adding this that to the linker commands.

I think its slightly different between the newer and older versions of dev-c++, thus you should be specific as to which you use if you need a more thorough explaination.

i tried it with my old Dev-C++ 4 compiler, but there were different errors now. It didn't say anything about the glaux.h file, but instead said this:

c:\documents and settings\tobias\mina dokument\spel\bwg\opengl\thingy001\main.cpp: In function `int WinMain(HINSTANCE__ *, HINSTANCE__ *, CHAR *, int)':

c:\documents and settings\tobias\mina dokument\spel\bwg\opengl\thingy001\main.cpp:638: warning: converting NULL to non-pointer type

do you think that the function does not exist in my header files?
I also tried to insert the prototype in the beginning of the code, but i dont know what type it returns.

oh, now i found something in the linker section too:

eh, i think i'm goin to start trying DirectX instead.

well i dont know how to link very well, i think im gonna learn that and console programming, and i am using the latest dev-c++ normally, just wanted to test it in the old one.
