    Linker Errors in OpenGL

    I am trying to go through the tutorials on this site:
    Here

    But I cant even get it setup right. I am using windows, with Dev C++. I downloaded all the header files. But I get linker errors when I try to compile the examples. I think i have to go into compiler options and add some things to the linker, but I dont know what to add.

    You need to link to the appropriate libraries. Probably opengl32.lib maybe some glu32.lib and others.

    Consult your compiler documentation on how to link to specific libraries.

    Press CTRL-N, and make a project. Press CTRL-P, and add the above libraries to the "libraries" textbox.
