Thread: errors with opengl & glut in windows

not sure of this is the correct forum for this question so if it aint feel free to move it

okay, heres my problem, i have wrote a file in opengl & glut and it works perfectly, or as perfect as i want it to be

i have also designed and coded a GUI which i want to display the openGL on

without the opengl stuff, the GUI works okay, couple of glitches but i'll get round to them
by itself the opengl code does what its meant to do, fine

but when i try to bring them both together i get these error messages:

Ecology Visualisation.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___glutInitWithExit@12
Ecology Visualisation.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___glutCreateWindowWithExit@8
Debug/Master Project.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals


i have installed the latest opengl32 and installed into the correct directories

does anyone have any idea whats causing this please

thanx in advance

those are linker errors, make sure that you are including all of the proper libs and header files

yeah i have, as i said on there own both GUI and opengl works, but not when they are brought together

check again or post your source

okay, looked and reloaded each file into the project, still the same problems

so heres the source, sorry bout the size though

also please disregard the mess in the GUI file, just starting out on win32 API

not only does it compile but it runs

so basically, its something to do with the way i have visual studio setup then?

do you have any ideas at all why it works on yours but not mine, i am using Visual Studio 6

i have visual studio 6 as well

I suggest completely rebuilding the project. that should work for ya buddy

I assume you know how to do this, but in case you dont', just go to Build and Rebuild All. tell me how and if that works

i managed to remove the errors by sending my source to someone else who then compiled the code and ran it, then he sent the exact same code back to me and it worked

is that wierd or what

anyway thanx for all the help guys

that would have been fixed if you had re built the entire project like I said. The problem was that there was an object file(s) that had an error, but was not being rebuilt because of something you were doing. The only way around that is deleting your object files (or, if you know what object file is problematic, just that one), and rebuilding the project, or just go to the menu command to rebuild everything.

LOL, but i did rebuild the project before i sent the code to someone else

did u delete the object files and then rebuild?

no, i just pressed rebuild

should read better i think
