I’ve just installed Msys and Mingw in Windows because I’m wanting to
port my SDL game to Windows. I installed Msys and Mingw as normal and
added mingw to my msys fstab and then I untarred the SDL source did
"./configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make modules install".
I can compile normal SDL programs fine but when it comes to a program
using OpenGL I get an error like “Can’t find -LGL” or “Can’t find -GL”.
I’m compiling the program like “g++ program.cpp -o program -lGL -lGLU sdl-config --cflags --libs”. I know normally that this mean I havn’t
got the OpenGL libraries or headers installed but in /usr/include/GL
there exists gl.h, glu.h and glext.h so I know it’s not the headers.
I’ve had a look for libgl.so which is what I think the file I need is
but I can’t find it. In /usr/lib there are lots of .a files one of which
I believe is libglext.a or something like that but there isn’t a libgl.a.
you would be looking for -lopengl32
if your missing it, perhaps google for libopengl32 ?

i should mention there is also -lglu32 / -lglu and -lglut32 if you have
glut installed. I believe libopengl32.a and libglu32.a / libglu.a are
included with mingw.
"g++ program.cpp -o program -lopengl32 -lglu32 sdl-config --cflags --libs"?

So I should be compiling like “g++ program.cpp -o program -lopengl32 sdl-config --cflags --libs”?
