[SOLVED] OpenGL/GLUT problem...

Hey guys,

I've recently been trying to program with OpenGL/GLUT but so far I haven't been having much luck on Arch.  I have a simple program that uses OpenGL just to test whether I've got it working or not, but I seem to be including the wrong files.  Everytime I attempt to compile my program, I get errors claiming that each and every OpenGL/GLUT functions I'm using is an undefined reference (I'm using C++ by the way).  Currently I'm including the GL/gl.h and GL/glut.h files.  I have checked and these two files do exist.  Is there another file I need to include?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] OpenGL/GLUT problem...

it would be usefull if you posted the compilation line. i'm sure that you didn't add the right compilation flag.
gcc -o test test.c -lglut

maybe you need -lGL -lGLU. just search on google for a tutorial

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

That worked!  Thanks!

The tutorial I was using didn't mention anything about modifying the compiler line, oh well.
