POWhy won't this GLUT program compile? Am I missing libraries or headers?

copied!<p>I've just started using Linux (Mint 11), and recently, I decided to take up OpenGL programming as a hobby. I'm finding the code and techniques relatively simple enough, however, I'm having a hard time trying to get all the resources in the right place. The code is: </p> <pre><code>#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <GL/glew.h> #ifdef __APPLE__ # include <GLUT/glut.h> #else # include <GL/glut.h> #endif static int make_resources(void) { return 1; } static void update_fade_factor(void) { } static void render(void) { glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); glutSwapBuffers(); } int main(int argc, char** argv) { glutInit(&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE); glutInitWindowSize(400, 300); glutCreateWindow("Hello World"); glutDisplayFunc(&render); glutIdleFunc(&update_fade_factor); glewInit(); if (!GLEW_VERSION_2_0) { fprintf(stderr, "OpenGL 2.0 not available\n"); return 1; } if (!make_resources()) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load resources\n"); return 1; } glutMainLoop(); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>When I compile, I get the following messages</p> <pre><code>../../Libraries/glut-3.7/lib/glut/libglut.so||undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelRectSGIX'| ../../Libraries/glut-3.7/lib/glut/libglut.so||undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSyncSGIX'| ../../Libraries/glut-3.7/lib/glut/libglut.so||undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSGIX'| ../../Libraries/glut-3.7/lib/glut/libglut.so||undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelDeltasSGIX'| ../../Libraries/glut-3.7/lib/glut/libglut.so||undefined reference to `glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX'| ||=== Build finished: 5 errors, 0 warnings ===| </code></pre> <p>Looking online told me that I'm probably not including the right libraries (presumably libX), however I'm unsure of where I can find them, If they're even the right ones to use. I've already tried linking /usr/lib/X86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so, /usr/lib/X11 contains neither library files nor a /lib directory, and I'm certain that the lib11-dev package is installed. What am I doing wrong? </p> <p><strong>INFO:</strong><br> OS: Linux Mint 11<br> IDE: Code::blocks 10.05<br> Following <a href="http://duriansoftware.com/joe/An-intro-to-modern-OpenGL.-Chapter-2%3a-Hello-World%3a-The-Slideshow.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial. <em>Note: I cannot find the x11r6 directories it refers to.</em></p>
