OpenGL/glut/stdc++ build errors

Question

I'm using Ubuntu and tried using synaptic to install everything that had the word "GLUT" in it and also SDL and opengl . But still a simple program fails to compile . It shows this :

opengl1.cpp:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `glClear'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `glBegin'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to `glVertex2i'

/tmp/ccnwQeLu.o:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If I use g++ instead of gcc I get this:

vim opebgl1.cpp
g++ opengl1.cpp -o opengl1 -lGL -lstdc++ -lc -lm
 and then get this :
/tmp/ccCJBuIl.o: In function `MyInit()':
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x12d): undefined reference to `gluOrtho2D'
/tmp/ccCJBuIl.o: In function `main':
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x14a): undefined reference to `glutInit'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x156): undefined reference to `glutInitDisplayMode'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x16d): undefined reference to `glutInitWindowSize'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x181): undefined reference to `glutInitWindowPosition'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x18d): undefined reference to `glutCreateWindow'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x19e): undefined reference to `glutDisplayFunc'
opengl1.cpp:(.text+0x1a3): undefined reference to `glutMainLoop'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So what do I really need to start working with opengl in Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Add "-lstdc++ -lGL" to your linker flags. Or try to compile it like this:

g++ opengl1.cpp -o opengl1 -lGL -lGLU -lc -lm

(edit: added -lGLU, removed -lstdc++)
