glew package

fatal error: gl\glew.h: No such file or directory

Asked by jonathan chetwynd

apologies, I cannot seem to link glew, though gl glut etc seem fine...

trying to build single short file openGL:

$ gcc -o openGL openGL.c -lGLEW -lGL
openGL.c:6:21: fatal error: gl\glew.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gl\glew.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.

file openGL includes:

#include <gl\glew.h>

$ ls /usr/include/GL
... glew.h ....

$ apt-cache search glew
libglew-dbg - OpenGL Extension Wrangler (debugging symbols)
libglew-dev - OpenGL Extension Wrangler - development environment

neither of the above responses are relevant

as per my original issue:

$ ls /usr/include/GL
... glew.h ....

had seen them already...

Ubuntu as all Linux variants is case sensitive, so capitals and small letters are NOT assumed to be the same.

From your output:

#include <gl\glew.h>
$ ls /usr/include/GL
... glew.h ....

So I assume you have to change your source code into

#include <GL\glew.h>

Can you help with this problem?
