I have searched everywhere on the OpenGL site and used google, but I cannot find any download links for the OpenGL library. For some odd reason, my compiler has the header files, but not the lib files. Does anyone have a link for the library?

P.S. I've compiled OpenGL programs before, just not with Code::Blocks +MingW... so I might just be stupid tongue.gif

You need to install the OpenGL libraries for MinGW to use.

One or both may help.

Thanks, any idea why MingW would have been packed with the OpenGL headers, but not the libs?

Oversight? I installed my MinGW separate from Code::Blocks, so maybe the Code::Blocks package doesn't have the OpenGL or GLUT libraries. It may even be an install option. I honestly don't know. I think I have the GLUT libraries in my MinGW, but like I said, I installed MinGW from mingw.org, not the C::B package.

I reinstalled MinGW, but I still have the same problem. I looked in the lib folder again and I found a file called libopengl32.a should I be linking with this? And if so, how would I do that?

Apparently, I don't need to link it to opengl32.lib at all.. I just need to link to gdi32.lib (a windows lib). Everything is working fine now, thanks for your help.
