Problems starting openGL

[pabloist]

I'm trying to get the tutorial for openGL with SFML working (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/window-opengl.php), but I'm getting errors like
"undefined reference to `gluPerspective@32'" - I think these are linker errors?

Anyway, I've tried

-lopengl32
-lsfml-graphics-s-d
-lsfml-window-s-d
-lsfml-system-s-d

which gives the 'undefined..' errors, and

-lglu32
-lopengl32
-lsfml-graphics-s-d
-lsfml-window-s-d
-lsfml-system-s-d

which, when I try to compile, gives me an error that ld.exe has stopped working.


I am a total beginner with openGL, so I appreciate any help you can give me.

(I have Windows 7, using GNU GCC with Code::Blocks.)

glu32 is indeed what was missing, don't know why you still get errors. But "ld.exe has stopped working" errors are usually internal errors, you can get rid of them by restarting your IDE.

Okay, I got it working.. for some reason, changing it to -lsfml-graphics-d, etc fixed it, so I guess it's a problem with the way I set up SFML? I dunno. Thanks, though.

I link my sfml games with:

g++ -O3 -s -o "%e".exe "%f" -static  -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-audio

It works as of right now.

It's because static libraries can't link to other libraries. If you use the static libraries, you have to link to the libraries it uses yourself.
