Question

i wanted to ask how can i compile opengl with mingw. (in linux)
For c++ files i know i can do this :

i586-mingw32msvc-g++ main.cpp -o main.exe

and its ok.

If i try it with opengl project ,it gives me errors ,like :
glutInit’ was not declared in this scope etc..

I copied glut.h ,glx.h,freeglut.h in the /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/GL
but nothing happend.

Answer 1

you will need to link GLUT.

i586-mingw32msvc-g++ main.cpp -o main.exe -lglut

The line above assumes glut is installed an in the compiler search path. Try that and let us know how that works out for you.
