Problem compiling OpenGL in visual studio

|Show| · 27 Feb 2006 at 19:32

Hi, i'm trying to compile some OpenGL code but visual studio can't find the library :confused:

i keep getting -

Code:

--------------------Configuration: Assignment4 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
main.cpp
d:\documents and settings\mark\my documents\uni stuff\graphics\assignments\assignment4\main.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GL/glut': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

Assignment4.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

anyone got any ideas?
i've never had this complier issue when compiling at uni, and i've reinstalled the application, but still get the same error

Visual Studio has the OpenGL core libraries, but not the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) libraries. You will need to download and install these separately.

For more info try here.

This thread on gamedev.net seems to discuss the problem and a couple of solutions.
