I've recently downloaded DJGPP and it seems to be working well on my Win95 OSR2
system.

I also obtained Mesa, GLUT and GLU headers, libraries (.lib files) and dynamic 
linked libraries (DLLs). I intend to write a GLUT/OpenGL program which will be
able to run under Win32 as a console program (c.f. MSVC++ 5.0 Win32 console app
compilation choice), but I can't seem to link in the .lib files using RHIDE.

I've written GLUT/OpenGL programs using MSVC++ 5.0 as straighforward C programs
with no WinMain() or other related Window stuff, and used GLUT's windowing
routines instead.

Can anybody shed any light on the subject? Must I use only MSDOS OpenGL, or is it
in fact possible to do what I want?
