Glut32 & Glu32??

[Rattrapmax6]

:o I got OpenGL to work... but there is a OpenGL code that uses Glu32.dll and Glut32.dll.... They wont work!! I put them in the file with the program, I go back to the IDE, press (F5) and it says:

Error, one of the DLL files,GLUT32.dll,can not be found

:???: I've tried several things to fix it, but nothing.. how do you get it to work???

Here's a zip that contains glut32.dll. You need to download it, it doesn't come with Windows or FB.

The lib*.a files are for the linker when you compile. They are not the actual .dll themselves.

Glu is almost always needed. For Glut, you could substitute SDL.

[Rattrapmax6]

Yeah, the SDL alows full screen, and width selecting right? I didn't see any of that in the Glut routines... After seeing Gluts no diff than SDL, SDL does sound better... heh heh.. Now I just got to figure it out... hmm.. there still no FB tuts on OpenGL yet?

Dr_Davenstein should write one some day. I loved that 3D demo and I've been meaning to learn OpenGL for ages.

Yeah, I'm trying, but trying to learn and port at the same time is not easy,. and I have no C++ knowledge as much as I'd like it.... :roll:
