OpenGL problem

[ivanBG]

Hi,I am trying to make a little program with Glut, with DEV C++. I did configured the linker

libopengl32.a
glut.lib
glut32.lib

and compiled the program. But when I try to run it, I get:
The program can't start because OPENGL.dll is missing from your computer.
But the .dll is there, in system32, glut.dll and glut32.dll are in my app folder. All this on windows7, no problem in linux. Thanks for any help!

Make a copy of 'OPENGL.dll' and put it in the same folder with 'glut.dll' and 'glut32.dll'. Windows 7 started doing some really fun stuff with symbolic links and this could be the issue you're seeing.

Steel no:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
I downloaded opengl.dll from www.dll-files.com, so it asked for : HfxClasses45.dll and ipl.dll, but after adding them to the folder I've got:
The procedure entry point glRotatef could not be located in the dynamic link library OPENGL.dll

It sounds like the wrong version of OPENGL.dll. I don't trust that website BECAUSE it comes up everytime you google a dll file, try searching for a malicious dll and that site will claim to have a copy of it.

Delete EVERYTHING that you got from www.dll-files.com and make a copy of the OPENGL.dll that you have in your SYSTEMROOT to paste in your project folder.

I solved it with removing glut.lib from the linker, leaving only glut32.lib. And, yes I deleted the downloaded dlls. Thank you for the hep!
