I used CMake and Code::Blocks to build SDL2 from source, and attempted to link my own project source to the following static libraries:
libSDL2.a libSDL2main.a OpenGL32.lib These three libraries are contained within the directory known as %libdir% (I'm using Batch for the command).
I obtained libSDL2 and libSDL2main from the Code::Blocks build. I obtained OpenGL32 from my Windows directory, although I found it long ago so I am unable to recall the exact location. I used the following command:
g++ *.o -L%libDir% -lOpenGL32 -lSDL2main -lSDL -o "output.exe" Below is the log, how can I rectify these errors?:

projectdir\lib/libSDL2.a(SDL_windowsopengl.c.obj): In function `WIN_GL_SetPixelFormatFrom': sdlsrc/video/windows/SDL_windowsopengl.c:795: undefined reference to `GetPixelFormat@4' sdlsrc/video/windows/SDL_windowsopengl.c:798: undefined reference to `DescribePixelFormat@16' sdlsrc/video/windows/SDL_windowsopengl.c:801: undefined reference to `SetPixelFormat@12' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status I suspected that perhaps I need to provide windows libraries (I'm using windows 10)? If that is the case, which libraries do I need and where can I find them? Why did this issue not occur when I used a pre-built version of SDL2?
