Installing Glut on Dev C++

u will need first to build glut for your compiler
personally if i was u ild try sdl (nearly as easy + more features)

err, I don't think you do need to build glut for your compiler - it's a libary.
The poster has probably for something wrong in his libs/dlls/includes in the project settings.

I am fairly new to programming so do I have to like link something up with the glut.h file or something like that? I would definately appreciate any help.

Open Dev C++. Click "Tools" on the menu, the choose "Check for Updates/Packages...". On the new panel, choose devpaks.org as your devpack server (this was the only one I got to work, but you may have others that are as good). Click check for updates, find and select glut, and Download selected. You can find glfw (which I think is better than glut), DevIL, and several other good libraries there too. Note that these libraries aren't necessarily the newest version, but I have had no problems so far. At least, they should be good enough for learning purposes.
When you now start a new project, you can select a glut project, which shows you some examples, and has a correct linker directive (telling the compiler to link to the right files is something people commonly have troubles with).

By the way, when you install glut the way I described, I think it installes glut.dll to your systems folder, but if you need to run your project on another machine where glut is not installed, you need to have the dll in the same folder as your exe (or copy it to the systems folder on the other machine).

It works! You Sir are brilliant. I thank you so much for your time! thanks!
