aux functions not working on opengl

My aplication uses opengl and works fine, but some opengl funtions like
auxSolidSphere(), are not recognized, I get the error:

'auxSolidSphere' was not declared in this scope.

I understand that the opengl aux functions are for demonstration purpose, and are not to acurate to use. Any ideas how to "activate" them, or any #include I should use ?

You should include proper aux headers (gl/glaux.h) and link against the aux library.

Thanks Wysota.
I first had to look in the forum how to link to a library. I copy the .lib and .h necessary
files, add LIBS += c:/qt/2009.01/qt/lib/gl/glaux.lib to .pro file, and use #include <gl/glaux.h>.

Still got huge list of errors with the auxSolidSphere, but as I read in the web, glaux.h is very old and is not used anymore.

Code:

---

c:/qt/2009.01/qt/lib/gl/glaux.lib:-1: error: In function `auxWireSphere@8':
D:\nt\private\wind:10: undefined reference to `_imp__glNewList@8'
D:\nt\private\wind:14: undefined reference to `_imp__glEndList@0'
D:\nt\private\wind:17: undefined reference to `_imp__glCallList@4'
c:/qt/2009.01/qt/lib/gl/glaux.lib:-1: error: In function `auxSolidSphere@8':

D:\nt\private\wind:15: undefined reference to `_imp__glEndList@0'

Guess the errors are related to some incompatibility with actual opengl.
So I 'll just have to write my own auxSolidSphere funtion.;)

Nice Easter to all you guys

It seems you are not linking with the OpenGL library.

If I remove

Code:

---

LIBS += c:/qt/2009.01/qt/lib/gl/glaux.lib

---

from the .pro file I get the error:

Code:

---

D:/qt4examples/Matematica/glgraph.cpp:352: undefined reference to `auxSolidSphere@8'
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

---

but if I leave the

Code:

---

LIBS += c:/qt/2009.01/qt/lib/gl/glaux.lib

---

in the .pro file the errors are the ones I indicate in the post above

How can I know if I am liking?

You should have OpenGL enabled if you added the QT+=opengl switch to the project file. Now the question is whether this OpenGL library is what the aux library was linked against. Versions might differ and both the libraries may be prepared for different compilers (like MSVC vs MinGW). Which one are you using?

I am using mingw compiler, but the aux library I copied from a old computer I got with MS visualc 6. So I supose I will have to look the web for a aux library that work with mingw, am I right ?

Yes, that's probably correct. If sources for this library are available, you can recompile it for MinGW yourself.
