Why won't this GLUT program compile? Am I missing libraries or headers?

Question

I\'ve just started using Linux (Mint 11), and recently, I decided to take up OpenGL programming as a hobby. I\'m finding the code and techniques relatively simple enough, ho

Answer 1

be sure you have installed libglew-dev and freeglut3-dev with

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev freeglut3-dev

and then link to this libs in your Makefile or compile command with

-lglut -lGLEE

for example

g++ -lglut -lGLEW -o test main.cpp

(this is how I compiled your example)
