    Stuck when linking

    Hello again, now I'm beginning to learn OpenGL because I'm stuck with any 3D graphics engines out there, they doesn't provide the right stuff for completely beginners things and many of them are C++ not C. (I'm still in love with non-object-oriented programming, it's simple to understand)

    By the way, whenever I wan't to install libraries from the net (for example OpenGLUT), i've got something terrible when linking my application..

    Code:
    undefined reference to `_imp__glutInitDisplayMode@4'
    undefined reference to `_imp__glutInitWindowSize@8'
    undefined reference to `_imp__glutInitWindowPosition@8'
    undefined reference to `_imp__glutMainLoop@0'
    First, I already copied the *.h file to the 'compiler-root-folder\include' path and the *.lib file to 'compiler-root-folder\lib'.

    Second, I've tried using -L -l switches.

    But they doesn't work even on GCC, MinGW, Dev-C++ <-- (they are all the same), TCC and BCC32, but they works well on MSVC.

    Any suggestion, please?

    Are you referencing the .lib files when you link?

    Oh God, thanks...

    I've tried:
    gcc -l "OpenGlut.lib" --> doesn't work
    gcc -l "lib\OpenGlut.lib" --> doesn't work
    gcc -l "lib\OpenGlut" --> doesn't work

    ...and the last...
    gcc -l "OpenGlut" --> works

    ^_^ thanks MacGyver!
