"cannot find -lglu" error while trying to compile with freeglut

[Cuong Nguyen]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile a small openGl program in Ubuntu 10.x using
Eclipse with C++ supported. I used this tutorial
http://www.ferdychristant.com/blog/articles/DOMM-72MPPE

I'm pretty sure everything is set up, but once I tried to compile this
error message keeps coming up:

g++ -L/usr/lib/ -o"opengl_glut" ./main.o -lglut -lglu
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglu

I also checked usr/include and usr/lib all the header files and .so
files are exist.

Thank you for any helps,
Cuong

I think that maybe you didn't install the right libraries. I
installed both glut and freeglut.

Thanks for the reply and sorry I did not update this topic. I found a solution. 'glu' and 'gl' have to be included together with 'glut', but they must be uppercase. So the libraries to include are 'glut', 'GLU' and 'GL'.
