C++ and OpenGl error

[JMar13]

Ok, i was reading threads trying to figure out a simple way to get opengl to work with gedit. I tried to add packages and what not that were recommended, but when trying to execute my:

"g++ program.cpp -glut"

i recieve this:

"cc1plus: error: unrecognised debug output level "lut""

ive tried numerous simple C++/OpenGL programs and they all give me the same error.

any help would be greatly appreciated

O
"g++ program.cpp -glut"


The correct command would be:

"g++ program.cpp -lglut"


The -g command line switch is about debugging symbols in the executable, -l is for including libraries.
