First at all I wondered why I have to build a libglut.a=01if I want
dynamic linking?? But I did it anyway using the instructions=20
"Linking Against DLLs" from the Cygwin User's Guide:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html#DLL-LINK

I actually built both libglut.a and libglut32.a.
The I tried to compile one of the GLUT test files:

gcc -mwindows -DWIN32 -o test1.exe test1.c -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut32

And I used -L and -I to point to the openGL/GLUT include and lib dirs.

Is something wrong here? If not, why doesn't it work?
