Using GLUT in Codeblocks

GLUT is an abbreviation, and its full name is called OpenGL Utility Toolkit, which is a toolkit that can be used to write OpenGL programs. The glut is ideal for learning OpenGL, but it is not suitable for developing relatively complex user interfaces. Today, let's talk about how to use glut in codeblocks.

This topic has been discussed in both English and Chinese, see http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~goetz/codeblocks/glut/, English version see "Using Glut in Codeblocks" (OpenGL) For Windows ".

Here, repeat it again.

First look at the output of a glut example program.

First, you need to prepare three files, Glut32.dll, Glut32.lib, Glut.h.

These three files can be downloaded from the Internet. Glut32 belongs to the dynamic link library,. h is required at compile time,. Lib records the basic information of the library function, the link needs, the. dll is the concrete function implementation, is the program to run the dynamic load.
Copy the Glut32.dll into the C:\windows/system.

Copy the Glut32.lib to C:\Program Files (x86) \codeblocks\mingw\lib.

Copy the glut.h to the C:\Program Files\codeblocks\mingw\include\gl.

Now, open codeblocks, create a new project, and select Glut Project.

Give the project a name and then next specify the location of the GLUT toolkit.

Now that the project has been built up, click on compile to run it. As a result, many errors are found.

If you want to run successfully, you need to add the header file # include "Windows.h" in the auto-generated main.cpp, and then compile and run, you can have the above results window. The graphics device interface functions are included in the windows.h.
