Hello,
I've been trying to get OpenGL to work for weeks now, and it's just not happening. Could someone please help me get it to work?
I am using the MinGW C compiler and have the following files in the correct folders within the MinGW folder:
opengl32.lib
glu32.lib
glut32.lib
gl.h
glu.h
glut.h
In system folder:
opengl32.dll
glu32.dll
glut32.dll
The following is the code that I am trying to get to work...
I'm fairly sure I'm not compiling it properly....but here it is anyway:
(This it not my code, it is from 'THE RED BOOK', and I just want to see if opengl is working before I start coding)
Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
void display(void)
{
/* clear all pixels */
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
/* draw white polygon (rectangle) with corners at
* (0.25, 0.25, 0.0) and (0.75, 0.75, 0.0)
*/
glColor3f (1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f (0.25, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.75, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.75, 0.75, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.25, 0.75, 0.0);
glEnd();
/* don't wait!
* start processing buffered OpenGL routines
*/
glFlush ();
}
void init (void)
{
/* select clearing color */
glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
/* initialize viewing values */
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
}
/*
* Declare initial window size, position, and display mode
* (single buffer and RGBA). Open window with "hello"
* in its title bar. Call initialization routines.
* Register callback function to display graphics.
* Enter main loop and process events.
*/
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize (250, 250);
glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100);
glutCreateWindow ("hello");
init ();
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
return 0; /* ANSI C requires main to return int. */
}
Thanks in advance,
Stuart
