g++ compiler
 

Hello
I use kDevelop to compile my GLUT source codes.But i dont like to make all those projects with all those files.I want to compile my GLUT using g++.
In my linker options from my kDevelop i click on the libraries: X11, Xext and Math.

Then i add -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXi -lXmu to Additional Libraries.

So what do i need to type on a shell to compile my GLUT c plus plus file?
thanx Hylke

my guess would be

This should really be put into a Makefile, assuming that it works at all -- like I said, it's a guess :)

btw, you might try -lMath instead of -lm

What do u mean with putting it in a makefile?
I typed g++ -o myprog myprog.cpp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXi -lXmu -lX11 -lXext -lm and g++ -o myprog myprog.cpp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXi -lXmu -lX11 -lXext -lMath in a command line but both didn't work.

Maybe you could define "didn't work" a little bit better. Like with actual error output. We can't very well tell you how to fix it if you don't tell us what error you got.

Edit: Also, you should read up on Makefiles a bit. They will make your life easier. Do a Google search, and I bet you will find tons of information explaining them.

My errors:
EDIT: disable smilies.

It appears you aren't including the source for your GameEngine class. Is that in main.cpp, or a separate .cpp file? If it's in a separate .cpp file, you will have to include that in your list like so:

g++ -o myprog main.cpp GameEngine.cpp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXi -lXmu -lX11 -lXext -lm

When i did that i got the following errors:
And when i add GameEngine.h
i got this:

I gues that's just the same.

GameEngine.h shouldn't go on the command line; it should be #included by whatever file needs it, which it looks like it is. You need to check that GameEngine.h exists and is in the directory with GameEngine.cpp.

it exist and it is in the same directory.

I found this in a file of my directory where i compile the source code using kDevelop.

looks like kDevelop uses automake. probably it would be a good idea to continue using that.

anyway, are you including GameEngine.h like #include <GameEngine.h> or like #include "GameEngine.h" ? It should be done the second way. I'm not entirely sure if that would cause the problem but it might.

I use #include "GameEngine.h"

I dunno what to tell you except that the compiler doesn't see a GameEngine.h in that directory :(

I wanted to put my GameEngine.h in my GameEngine.cpp and then i saw that i had used <'s instead of "s.
Thank you for your help.

EDIT: I have another question:
I want to use texturing but then i need to add the glaux library.But how do i add the glaux library?
thanx again.
Hylke

I'm going to guess that you give -lglaux on the gcc line, and #include some header to use it, perhaps glaux.h. Not having glaux, I can't really know :)
