Hey guys,
i am new to SFML and so far i found it awesome! But now i got a little problem. I'm trying to make a little game and it all worked pretty well. Then i tried to add some animations. So i used these animation classes of the wiki. After adding the pausableclock.hpp it compiled, but then i got a bunch of linking errors such as: undefined reference to glbegin@4. They all point to some OpenGl functions. So my question is can anybody tell me how to link that? According to the tutorial a simple adding of the window library should do it. Some how it doesnt work so. i linked my libraries like that:
-lsfml-graphics-d
-lsfml-audio-d
-lsfml-window-d
-lsfml-system-d

So can somebody please help me?

If you use OpenGL, you must link to OpenGL ("GL" on Linux, "opengl32" on Windows)

OpenGL libraries are provided with the compiler, you just need to add it to the linker options.

Ah ok thank you very much. I just added a -lopengl32 and it worked. Thanks again!
