Run openGl with Qt 4.8

Hi

I write a simple program to run the opengl in the Qt 4.8.
IDE: VS 2008 with Qt 4.8 Addin
Included gl.h and QGLWidget
I included all the lib in the Linker section
(opengl32.lib glew32d.lib QtCore4.lib qtmain.lib)

I am getting the below error

Could you please help on what are the remaining libraries i need to mention in order to run opengl in the qt successfully

Now I am getting the error message like the below
(Linker library QtOpenGLd4.libglew32d.lib
qtmaind.lib
QtCored4.lib

Could any of you help me on what are the libraries i have to include in the Linker part in order to run the opengl with qt.
IDE : 2008
Plugin Qt 4.8

No idea about the compiler you are using; but, with GCC Compiler the order of the libraries in the link list matters.

Edit1:
From glClearColor function (Windows)

glClearColor function is in Library Opengl32.lib

Tim S.

That's a good question about link order on Windows :P

I think the general rule of thumb was simply that you need your import statements before your export statements.

Fortunately though, vcpkg supports both OpenGL and Qt so you can use that to install both of those libraries which create the import libs for you so there's no manual DLL linking required.

But if you already have the import libs and everything like that squared away, it might help us to see how you're compiling your code. I don't think I saw any direct linking commands in your posts.

Also, whoa O_o

There seems like there's much more modern versions of the IDE available too. vcpkg + CMake is a really nice combo for building stuff on Windows now too.
