OpenGl Problems!
Author
Ok let me start off sayying that I know C++ half way decent. However I have never had to add any .lib files cause Compileing C++ has always been easy. I just bought a OpenGL book and the code that it wants me to try to learn off of and compile no matter what never works. I've been trying non stop for a couple of days now. I've been unable to compile any problem in OpenGl. I'm reading the book "Beginning OpenGL Game Programming " .... Been told that book uses Glut. Which is people say what my problem is.
Compilers I've used:
Visual C++ Express
CodeBlocks
Error's I get everyime:
(CodeBlocks)
So my question would be. Someone please help me figure out why nothing is compileing right. I'm having a hard time learning anything cause I am stuck. I need help figure out how to set up the lib's. Even though I thought I did them correct but I guess not or someone please help me figure out what is wrong. I will be greatful for help.
So... if you double-click that error, what does it say on that line?
My guess is that your glut.h file has somehow gotten corrupted -- probably missing a hash mark, or having some random character in front of the hash mark.

Well the line doesn't even exist so it doesn't take me to the errors? Well Can someone point me to a better header file then?

I'm getting a new error now and I didnt do anything different.. Error is.
Code
C:/Program Files/CodeBlocks/include/gl\glut.h:50: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `short'Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)Code
/* XXX This is from Win32's <ctype.h> */# ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINEDtypedef unsigned short wchar_t;# define _WCHAR_T_DEFINED# endif# endif
The last error is really bizarre, do you have obscure headers messing with "unsigned"? Test #ifdef unsigned and #ifdef short to ensure they aren't macros.

I only have 1 header file in the project and just the Simple.cpp code. Other then that i dont have anything else in there. CAn someone PLEASE tell me how to set up codeblocks to compile OpenGL and GLut cause I must be doing something wrong and I have been at this for a week. Feeling dumb cause I can get anyway in it cause I cant compile anything.. Please Help.
Madhatt3r,
I've never seen those errors before, but they appear to point to a corrupt glut.h.
Download a fresh copy from somewhere. Another thing I just noticed but
may not be of importance: it looks like your including gl\glut.h but in windows
it should be gl/glut.h
