I m trying to draw cylinder in C++ using OpenGL. I found some tutorial and code. But I m getting the following errors while compiling.

I checked all the necessary things like Properties->likner->Input->Additional Dependencies; Properties->likner->System->Subsystem->Windows to Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) etc . But nothing helps me out from this.

Can anyone helps me out?

Thanks.

Solution 1

Please add glut.lib in additional dependencies.

Select Project Properties Page.
Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies.

GLUT( OpenGL Utility toolkit is not part VisualStudio.) We need to install glut from any of its implementations.

This link error indicates that certain functions import details are not available.
Please ensure glut32.lib exists, Is there any chance to have another version of glut in your linker path?. Please Check Additional lib folders, for the existance another glut.lib.
