error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _LoadShaders referenced in function “void __cdecl init(void)” (?init@@YAXXZ)

Question

I am learning OpenGL and trying to run my first program. I have included all the files in include, lib, and bin folders. I have tried to add opengl32.lib;glut32.lib;glu32.li

Answer 1

Only adding the libs in Linker->Input is not enough. The Linker will still not find them because your libs are in some arbitrary directory. Add the directory they are in to the setting Linker->General->additional library directories.
