How to link GLUT to Qt Project?

[Lawand]

I am not new to Qt 4, but when it comes to library files, you can call me a newbie :)

I have a project that uses OpenGL and GLUT, I want to compile it in Qt Creator and I don't know how to add GLUT and link to it..
FWIW, I am working on a Windows XP machine, and I have these files:
glut.h
glut.def
glut32.lib
glut32.dll

what should I add and how?

[wysota]

Add the following line to your .pro file:
LIBS+=-lglut32

If the library is not in your compiler's search path also add this line:
LIBS+=-LpathToYourGLUTLib

Remember to rerun qmake afterwards.

It didn't work...

I have glut.lib file in the directory "C:\glut", and I added these two lines:

LIBS += -lglut32
LIBS += -LC:\glut\glut.lib

I am getting tons of errors that look like:

[..] glut.h:486: undefined reference to `__glutInitWithExit'

[wysota]

It should be:
LIBS += -lglut32
LIBS += -LC:\glut

But anyway also make sure your glut lib actually has that symbol exported which is missing.

I did exactly as you said but I kept getting error messages, until I found this page (http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/Glut), now my problem is solved.

Thanks alot, wysota for all your help :)

I resolved the problem put:

In the file main.cpp , add



#include <QApplication>
#include "window.h"
#include <GL/glut.h>//add

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

glutInit(&argc, argv); //initialize glut
QApplication app(argc, argv);
Window window;
window.show();

return app.exec();
}


See you
