Cannot open file 'glew32.lib'

Question

I have downloaded glew-1.9.0.zip built the projects under C:\glew-1.9.0\build\vc6 and C:\glew-1.9.0\build\vc10 and am unable to build after setting visual studio's paths to the glew include and lib paths. The lib directory does NOT have glew32.lib after building glew. What must I do in order to be able to build an opengl project?

Answer 1

You could download binary pack (32 bit or 64 bit) and find already compiled version of glew32.lib in lib folder and all includes?:)

In your OpenGL project open Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies -> add glew32.lib.

Also you must include #include <GL/glew.h> in your sources; For that add path to your glew folder: Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properies -> General -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories and Library Directories;
