Unhide the C:\Users\mingy_desktop\AppData directory. Make sure you do not have a user name with an embedded space eg: mingy_desktop is, mingy desktop is not. I’m going to pretend your Windows 7 user name is mingy_desktop, but you ll have to change it as needed. If anybody tries this and finds a problem, please let me know. I carefully (I hope) documented the process. I am sure this is easy for a lot of people, but I’m an old guy and having slung code for a long time. Thanks to Google, and the fact I am stuck in a wheelchair for a few weeks, I was able to get, step by step, to the point where it all works. I gave up trying to figure out why, but I ran into all kinds of problems which led me to new problems. I think the problem is that some of the information is dated, or not directly relevant to my platform. Based on what I read, and, in particular from this post I spend about 4 days figuring out how to do it. I wanted to move from the Arduino development environment for a variety of reasons. If you encounter any problems, do mention them in the comments section below.Hello everybody. I hope this post helped you to easily setup OpenGL (GLUT) in CodeBlocks. You can also find “How to set up” articles regarding SDL, wxWidgets, GLFW in CodeBlocks, and more in this site. You can check out my earlier post which was about setting up graphics.h in CodeBlocks. It takes only a few lines of code, and does not require in- depth knowledge of operating system. If you’re just getting started with programming in OpenGL, using GLUT is the best choice. Already aforementioned – GLUT makes learning OpenGL easier, and as a cross-platform it creates a much portable code between operating systems. If you see the output of your program as shown above, you’ve properly setup OpenGL (GLUT) in CodeBlocks, and successfully created a project. Build and Run, and you’ll see a window as shown below.Don’t forget to include the header file – “ #include“, otherwise you’ll get error.As of this step, a project is finally created, and you’ll get a default main.cpp file.For GLUT location, give the path “ C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW“.The project file is created by default from the title name of the project.Enter the title name of the project, and give path to save the project.Copy the glut.dll file and paste to the folder “ C:\Windows\System32“.Open bin folder from the downloaded file.Copy all files and paste to the folder “ C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib“.Copy the glut.h file and paste to the folder “ C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\GL“.Open include folder from the downloaded file.Download GLUT Library and unzip the file.Steps to Setup OpenGL (GLUT) in CodeBlocks: Designed for making small to medium sized programs in OpenGL, GLUT does no require large and sophisticated user interfaces. I have also embedded snapshots of the setting up process below steps wherever necessary.įor OpenGL, GLUT utilizes a simple windowing API (Application Programming Interface) so that a single OpenGL program written runs across PCs and Operating System platforms. In post, I will show you step-by-step procedure to properly setup OpenGL (GLUT) in CodeBlocks IDE for windows. In other words, GLUT is a library of utilities for OpenGL programs which help perform the system-level input/output operations. It is a window system independent toolkit which makes exploring and learning about OpenGL programming easier and simpler. GLUT is the OpenGL Utility Toolkit used for writing programs in OpenGL (Open Graphics Library).
