Question

I am new to opengl and I have no idea what this error means. I am using Visual Studio 2012> C ++> Empty project. I follow these steps on other computers that work for me, but I do it on my computer. I get this error.

MISTAKE

• Open Visual Studio, Select New Project
• Select Visual C ++, select Empty Project
• Record OpenGLProject as the name of your project.
• Right-click on your project in the solution explorer and select add → add new item.
• Select C ++. Cpp, name it HelloOpenGL.
• Right click on your project, select properties
• Select the entire configuration from the configuration drop-down list.
• Go to C / C ++ -> General
• Go to Include Additional Directories
• Click the button on the right side and select "Edit", then select the glew / include folder
• Press the button on the right side and select "Edit", then select the folder "Mute / enable"
• Click OK
• Now go to Linker -> Input
• Go to Additional Dependencies
• Click "Edit" and "Right" glew32.lib and freeglut.lib.
• Click OK
• Now go to the General section
• Go to Additional Libraries Directories
• Go to the Glew folder and select lib
• Go to the freeglut folder and select lib ..

ThankYou.

The error message assumes that you are attached to glew32.dll instead of glew32.lib . You always need to link the lib file and copy the dll to the place where it can be found at runtime.
