opengl - undefined reference to '_imp___glewGenBuffers'

Question

I am having the following link errors regarding glew library when compiling an opengl 2.1 program on code blocks,mingw.

objDebugLUtil.o||In function `Z6renderv':|
C:UserswarDesktopCGHelloLUtil.cpp|162|undefined reference to `_imp____glewGenBuffers'|
C:UserswarDesktopCGHelloLUtil.cpp|163|undefined reference to `_imp____glewBindBuffer'|
C:UserswarDesktopCGHelloLUtil.cpp|164|undefined reference to `_imp____glewBufferData'|

Also, I have properly linked these libraries. -lopengl32 -glu32 -glew32 -lfreeglut

Also, I have make the project find the appropriate header files and libraries.

What else is left?

Answer 1

This can be caused by attempting to use an MSVC lib under mingw. Either download a library compiled for mingw, or compile your own.
