Gcc -o opengl_test.exe gl_test. Void keyboard(unsigned char key, int x, int y) GlViewport(0, 0, (GLsizei) w, (GLsizei) h) GlutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB) Use the following steps to compile GLEW from MinGW.Īfter building GLEW for MinGW, copy the include, lib and bin folders to the corresponding include, lib and bin folders of MinGW. Navigate to the folder where GLEW is (with cd) Note about paths - if path is C:c++glew, tou must type in: cd /c/c++/glew.
Then add C:\MinGW\bin to the System path by adding it to the PATH environment variable.ĭownload freeglut built for mingw from here.Īfter downloading the files, copy the include, lib and bin folders to the corresponding include, lib and bin folders of MinGW.
Install MinGW to the default location of C:\MinGW with gcc, g++ and make.exe (MSYS).
For followers (every thread deserves an update once/decade, right) I think the problem/fix is to link opengl32 after glew, so -lglew32 -lopengl32 FWIW (mingw anyway) Home.
One of the main purposes of this article was to create a Linux like environment to work with OpenGL in Windows, and to not depend on Visual Studio on development and to use the same code and build command as used on Linux on Windows. So I just need to know why it doesn’t work under CodeBlocks, maybe because of MingW and GLEW >.< rogerdpack December 28, 2019, 7:25am 6. This article is about using MinGW to build applications on Windows. And remember create 'lib' directory in the the glew-1.xx directory, otherwise it will complain about 'cant find /lib/glew32. One can get pre-built binaries for linking Visual Studio applications for GLUT and GLEW. I got it working (with MinGW), i didnt compile the glew32mx but glew32 instead.
This article describes the steps for getting everything configured and running to build OpenGL applications on a Windows 10 machine (as of the 19 th of August, 2016) using gcc from MinGW with the required GLUT and GLEW libraries. Published on Saturday, 20 August 2016 01:34 Takes only a few seconds to build in my laptop.įor those who are lazy, here’s the pre-compiled libraries for MinGW (MinGW 4.8.6, GCC 4.8.1, GLEW 1.10.0, Windows 8.Get OpenGL running with MinGW on Windows 10 You should find the *.dll and *.a files in the lib folder.

So this is what I did to get it working (assuming you have MinGW’s bin directory in your environment paths).Ĭd to the root directory and execute these line by line: I needed it to pair up with SFML and I wanted to use MinGW’s compiler, and for some reason, the developers of GLEW only provided the pre-compiled libraries for VC++. For some reason I had a tough time building the GLEW (OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library – as of this writing the most recent version is 1.10.0).
