How can I compile c++ opengl code using Atom?

Question

So I've installed gpp-compiler extension for Atom, I've put glut.h into my MinGW\include\GL directory as well as I've put libglu32.a file into my MinGW\lib directory and also I didn't forget to put glut32.dll,glu32.dll into C:\Windows\System32 and I've also put glu32.dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

This is the compiler configuration I've got: settings

And that's the compiling error I'm getting:

b:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/6.3.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lglut32 collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Looking forward to your answers :)

Problem solved, the issue was that my libglut32.a was called libglut32.win.a, renaming it solved the problem. https://i.imgur.com/ugk8Goq.png — Koniotaur, Mar 16 '18 at 09:53

The linker is not able to find the library glut32.a.

You need to add the folder via

-L<folder containing glut32.a>

to your C++ compiler command line options, where you already declared the libs which shall be linked to your application.
