OpenGL and GLUT with Dev C++

[Aakash N S]

Hi
I'm learning OpenGL, and I'm following this book called OpenGL Superbible, it uses GLUT(freeglut) in the introductory chapters, which Dev C++ does not include by default.

I tried installing a devpak for GLUT, but it doesn't work, not even the example provided with the devpak itself. Could it be an issue with the OS? I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

I also downloaded freeglut and did the following

• copied the file freeglut.dll to C:\Windows\System, C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
• copied the file freeglut.h and glut.h to the directory include\GL in directory where Dev C++ is installed.
• copied freeglut.lib to the lib folder under Dev C++, and included it in the project parameters.
  

But it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

There are lot of pains in installations and using such things. I have not worked with devcpp but in Visual Studio things openGl was working fine. But again I too had problems in using glut library.  For other libraries of openGl the things that you have done are sufficient to use them.But for glut it not working for me...If you get solution from anywhere...please do post it....

In linux, u need to compile it with -lglut flag. You should try the same in Windows
