C++ BUILDER 4.0 [Linker Error] Unresolved external 'auxDIBImageLoadA' ->OpenGL

[Patrick Salmons]

Using C++ BUILDER 4.0
When I make call to the function auxDIBImageLoad or auxDIBImageLoadA in
<glaux.h>, I get the following error.
[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'auxDIBImageLoadA' referenced from
D:\OPENGL\MYTEXTUREMAP\MYTEXTUREMAP.OBJ

I am not very knowledgeable about the C++ Builder 4.0 linker.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Correction.
I have a Linker Problem with all of the functions in <glaux.h>.

Well, Unresolved externals almost always hint to not having included one or
more libraries or sources to your project. I know hardly anything about
OpenGL so I cannot tell you wich one (probably an import library for a DLL)
it is...

Thanks for your input, but I found the problem.

I found out that Borland included a header file for the glaux in C++ Builder 4,
but they did not include a library to link to for glaux.
Anyways, I found the c source for the glaux library and compiled it into my
source and it all work. :-)

PROBLEM SOLVED. GLAUX may not be an industry strength solution, but it makes
for great eye candy and learning.
