        The following program creates a window and then
        uses multiple OpenGL functions to display a
        animated robot constructed of different size
        cubes. To compile this code you must make the
        proper library links in project--->settings.

        I apologize for any amount of scatterd code or
        mis-formatting that printing this may occur. Please
        feel free to email me at the address above for the .cpp
        file.

im using devc++...

What are the error messages? Have you configured the OpenGL and DevC++ environments properly?

What are the error messages? Have you configured the OpenGL and DevC++ environments properly?

open gl enviroment i thought that it was built in to every computers subproceses???:?:

The OpenGL.dll and glu.dll is distributed with the Windows OS. The header files are usually distributed with the compiler. But you will have to get the GLUT header and dll files yourself.

Just tell me the error messages you are getting.

Here is a link which shows you how to configure OpenGL under windows.

ARRG...
this is the error...

HELP ME!!!!

Hmm... I think that the lines of include code

#include <gl\gl.h>
#include <gl\glaux.h>
#include <gl\glu.h>

should actually be

#include <gl/gl.h>
#include <gl/glaux.h>
#include <gl/glu.h>

Try this and see if this works.
Bye.

Regards,
~s.o.s~

arrg! ok i did what u said changed the includes and this happens

29 C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp gl/glaux.h: No such file or directory.

39 C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp `HDC' does not name a type

C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp In function `void Render()':

406 C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp `SwapBuffers' undeclared (first use this function)

ect....about 10more...

the code looks like...

Just for testing purposes compile and run the code and see if it works.
If you have any errors report them back,

#include <GL/glut.h>


void renderScene(void) {
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
	glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
		glVertex3f(-0.5,-0.5,0.0);
		glVertex3f(0.5,0.0,0.0);
		glVertex3f(0.0,0.5,0.0);
	glEnd();
	glFlush();
}

void main(int argc, char **argv) {
	glutInit(&argc, argv);
	glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGBA);
	glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
	glutInitWindowSize(320,320);
	glutCreateWindow("3D Tech- GLUT Tutorial");
	glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);
	glutMainLoop();
}

Bye.

.ect


the red line is on code...

#include <GL/glut.h>

im starting to wonder if opengl is suported by my computer...

AFTER 2-hours of messing around i think i finaly found the error (I THINK)

i beleve that it should be coded in

#include <windows.h>
#include <gl/gl.h>

i wanna test it but its a start!

Are u sure u have done the following things :

2.Download glut.
Get glut-3.7.2-dlls.zip (104 Kbytes) or the latest glut version from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html
3. Unzip glut**dlls.zip.
4. There are two sets of files, one for Microsoft's OpenGL (files with 32 in filenames) and one for SGI's OpenGL (no 32).
5. Copy glut*.dll to
Win 98: windows\system
NT or Win 2K: winnt\system32
6. Copy glut*.lib to Program Files\ MS Visual Studio\VC98\lib\.
7. Copy glut.h to Program Files\ MS Visual Studio\VC98\include\gl.

Chck if the above steps have been performed.

If u still have problems goto this site for instructions:
http://www.lighthouse3d.com/opengl/glut/

where do i copy if im on xp...

Member Avatar for iamthwee

Devshed is different from visual studio, so don't expect to be using opengl tutorials for visual studio in devshed and get it to work.

:lol:

where do i copy if im on xp...

To the Windows\System32 Folder.

6. Copy glut*.lib to Program Files\ MS Visual Studio\VC98\lib\.
7. Copy glut.h to Program Files\ MS Visual Studio\VC98\include\gl.

Ifyou are using devCpp, you will have to change the above instructions to

[LEFT]6. Copy glut*.lib to DevCPP4\Lib\
7. Copy glut.h to DevCPP4\Include\

[/LEFT]

Ok It Works But Does Anyone Know Of Any Opengilt, Or Gult???

Goto the sticky http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread50370.html where i have posted links for two free ebooks available on the net for OpengGL as well as a graphics programming book for developers if u are intrested in that.

Hope it helped,
Bye.

ok i did alll of that and it doe not work it still says invalid file or directory!...

In your prev post u said it worked, then wat was it that worked ?

Also it would be better if you read the instructions present in the last link i posted to you about configuiring the Dev C++ for OpenGL.

Also it would be better if you elaborate your problem a bit more by giving the code and the exaxt error messages.

Bye.

i did that but the program still wont find the directory what should i do?

ok i instaled all the stuff but it still doesnt work GRRRR i can get the glut stuff to work but there are no guides fot glut only open gle and the same error keeps hapning!!:-| :-| :-|

That link does not work, but this does. Also Check the top two links in this google search.

@wingwarp: By the way, this thread is begining to get on my nerves! So the next time, you say this and that does not work, just make sure that it is not "File or Directory not Found". Because that is due to you not having correct settings, and we have given all the necessary help to rectify that. If you get that error again, you reinstall devCpp, reinstall OpenGL or reinstall the Operating System and start again, I don't care. But if I see the same thing being repeating again and again in this or any other thread, I close it.
