Question

I want to ask a question. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and I was stuck in this #error. LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "glut32.lib" . Actually the command that I used can be run at my computer lab at my college but now I'm using my pc's to run it. I already follow the step to install openGL in my pc's, but it is still stuck. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.
