    **_Never(!)_** copy any files into the Windows directories. Only pain and despair await you down that path. If your program requires particular nonstandard DLLs, copy them into the directory your program's `.EXE` resides in. – datenwolf Aug 11 '16 at 08:45

    BDL gave you the answer to your problem. I just pointed out that you should *never* place stuff in the Windows directories; that doesn't solve your problem at hand, but *avoids* further problems in the future. – datenwolf Aug 11 '16 at 11:27

The linker does not find Freeglut.lib. Most probably you missed to add the path to the lib directory to the linker options. I don't know how to do this in Code::Blocks, but in general you have to add these additional library directories using the -L<DIR> switch for the linker.
