[CMake] Re: CMake Digest, Vol 42, Issue 92

[pingu]

I've downloaded sample projects with OpenGL and those run fine. I can copy
and paste that code into a new project and it won't compile, giving me
linking errors. I've got the NVidia SDK and their sample programs run fine,
so I'm certain OpenGL works on my PC.

I'm using MCVS 2005 and my efforts aren't working. I'm trying this under
Vista, but I can imagine the same error occurring on XP (and maybe my Linux
partition). I'd rather not have to hardcode directories to get this to work,
as I'm collaborating with a few people via SVN and it'd be a real pain in
the butt. I'm pretty confident that it might just be the CMake files that
I'm setting up that are causing the issue, files of which I can't paste in
here until I get home. I don't doubt the numbers of Win32 applications that
use OpenGL and CMake, so if somebody is out there that can help me, it would
be much appreciated. Don't make me do DirectX instead. :P
