    Getting OpenGL code to work in Bloodshed

    Wasnt sure which board to post this, but i thought this one was the most appropriate.

    I recently got some OpenGL code, but i cant get it to run in my bloodshed compiler. I have the gl, glaux, and the glu headers.

    The errors say there's a linker error, i've been told that i need to bind the headers to bloodshed, is that right? if so how do i do that, ive googles it but with no outcome. Thanks for any help

    You need to link the opengl libraries. Somewhere in your options there will be a place to add linker args... you need to add* -lopengl32.lib -lglu32.lib -lglaux.lib (these are lower case 'L's)

    *note: im totally guessing at the windows names for the libs, you might want to check them

    i think i've managed to link the correct files, im down to just one error:

    " Nothing to be done for `all'. "

    I'm yet again stumped, lol

    >>" Nothing to be done for `all'. "

    This is a message from "make" which means the timestamps on the object code are newer than the source files. ie: your program is built... if its not working, try finding a clean option.

    just #include <glext.h> instead of glaux
    Code:
    #if _emo
      #define stereo_type_i_dislike
    #endif

    Having had a look at some of the forums it seems that lots of people are having problems with this so I've put together a page on how I got it working here :

    Richard's current portfolio

    It describes the linker errors I encountered while trying to compile with OpenGL and Bloodshed and how I resolved them.
