Hello all.
I've been trying to set up code blocks for openGL and have been having a lot of trouble. I was wondering if anybody could lend me a hand.
ok, here's what I did.
1) downloaded freeglut, put freeglut.lib in the lib folder of mingw, put freeglut.h in include/gl of mingw.
2) I editted the wizard file to change glut32 to free glut. I did the same to the template file
3)Created a new project with the opengl template.
this is the code i've been trying to run (it's just the standard test program for codeblocks):
/*
* GLUT Shapes Demo
*
* Written by Nigel Stewart November 2003
*
* This program is test harness for the sphere, cone
* and torus shapes in GLUT.
*
* Spinning wireframe and smooth shaded shapes are
* displayed until the ESC or q key is pressed. The
* number of geometry stacks and slices can be adjusted
* using the + and - keys.

and this is the error ive been receiving:
||=== Build: Debug in LearningOpenGL (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lfreeglut|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
It seems like im close to get it working but ive been stuck here for a while, hence the appeal for help. I know it has something to do with the linkers.
pls help
Adding random files from the Internet to an compiler installation is most likely to not work and even break the compiler installation.
I suggest reading the rules for this website!

Edit: If after reading the rules, you still think it is a valid topic for this website; post a build log in code tags.

GCC expects libfreeglut.a, the .lib file is probably meant for MSVC and is not compatible.
I appreciate the replies. I will keep trying by myself
