I’m trying to compile this C++ program which utilizes the GLUT32 libraries.

Right now I’m getting the following errors:

I’m not that experienced in C++ but I’ve tried to set up GLUT correctly so this project can link against it.

I downloaded the GLUT32 library for Nate Robin’s page.

I then placed the following files in:

  • glut.h – C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\gl
  • glut32.lib – C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib
  • glut.dll – C:\Windows\System32

I also selected the Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Additional Dependencies -> Added “glut32.lib”

If anyone wants to see what project I’m working with, it is here.

What step am I missing or doing wrong in order to resolve these errors?

    The unresolved symbols are from the GL and GLU libraries. You need to add the link libraries for them as well.
