I have copied the glut.h file in c:/turbo/tc/include/ directory and glut32.dll in c:/windows/System32/.
After this what should I do ?

Did you search on google ? – David Ansermot Oct 01 '14 at 16:33

Tried and got this link http://www.gantless.com/borland.html. In which I got stuck at implib command.Any idea? – user3674052 Oct 01 '14 at 16:42

1Are you constrained to use Borland C++ compiler? Can't you try other free compilers like GCC (MinGW) or VC++ (VS Express Edition)? – legends2k Oct 01 '14 at 17:33

please specify your C++ environment Compiler,OS ??? what OpenGL you want to use? old style GL 1.0 (extensions?) or newer (compatibility or core profile)? GLSL? – Spektre Oct 03 '14 at 10:09

your path implies old Borland Turbo C++ 3.1 to me
- which was the old MS-DOS C++ IDE (similar to Borland TP 7.0 pascal IDE)
- in which you can not have classic 32bit OpenGL
- there were some 16bit MS-DOS versions of GL+GLUT compatible ports of glut+gl libs.
- so unless you do not have them then it will not work no matter you do
- if you do then read the provided readme.txt or whatever to see how to use it
- there were some tutorials on them but I strongly doubt you will find them on the internet
- because most of old programing portals is off-line and stuff lost forever ...
if you have newer compiler like Borland C++ BCC 5.0 or newer
- then just include headers
link lib files for used dll's for example:
#include "my_GL_headers\\glut.h" #pragma link "my_GL_headers\\glut.lib"use implib tool if you do not have them or are incompatible
- because most provided libs are for MSVC++
- which are incompatible with standard Intel object format
- for more info see difference between COMF and OMF
- some header files already link their lib files so do this only if you have unresolved externals ...
If you use IDE like Borland C++ builder 1,2,3,4,5,6 or Developer Studio 2006 Turbo C++
- then look at this answer of mine: How to render an openGL frame in C++ builder?
- all the headers and libs are included in IDE ...
PS this is how mine usual GL includes look like in BDS2006 projects
#include <windows.h>
#include <jpeg.hpp>
#include <math.h>
#define GLEW_STATIC
#include "gl\glew.c"
#include "gl\gl.h"
#include "gl\glu.h"
#include "gl\glext.h"
#include "gl\wglext.h"
#include "gl\glut.h"
- where gl is project source local folder
- including all headers/objs/libs ...
- the only lib you need is glut.lib (if you want to use glut)
- GLEW can be either as lib/dll/obj or as C++ source code
- I prefer the C++ source version under borland/embarcadero
