Can you try replacing those lines around 126 by this check and see if that 
helps?

IF (USE_GLUT AND MSVC)
        string (REPLACE "/D_WINDOWS" "" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS})
        remove_definitions(-D_WINDOWS )
ENDIF()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

in file bullet-2.76/Extras/Serialize/BulletFileLoader/bChunk.h
line 20 should be changed from

#ifdef _WIN32

to 

#if defined (_WIN32) && ! defined (__MINGW32__)

in order to compile with MinGW. Otherwise MinGW will complain about __int64 not 
naming a type.

-------------------------------------------------------

Originally my QT MinGW distribution didn't contain libglut32.a, so I downloaded 
it 
from http://chortle.ccsu.edu/Bloodshed/glutming.zip and placed it into 
mingw\lib. 

Note that previous version of bullet (2.75) compiled just fine with this trick.

Is glColor4ub etc not supported by your OpenGL/glut version?

Original comment by erwin.coumans on 3 Mar 2010 at 10:52

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well, mingw/include/gl/gl.h contains declaration 
-------------------------------------------------------
GLAPI void APIENTRY glColor4ub( GLubyte red, GLubyte green, GLubyte blue, 
GLubyte 
alpha );
-------------------------------------------------------

and mingw/lib/libopengl32.a contains symbols _glColor4ub@16, 
__imp__glColor4ub@16.

So I suppose, it is supported.

You might want to check this with the MinGW developers. It works just fine under
Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

Thanks,
Erwin

(or just skip AppBox2dDemo, remove Box2dDemo from the 
Bullet/Demos/CCmakeLists.txt)

Unless you come up with a patch, we don't have resources to fix OpenGL issues 
that 
happen with MinGW.

I had the same linker errors for AppBox2dDemo.exe (on MSYS/MinGW). 

Try adding
#include <GL/gl.h> 
to GL_DialogWindow.h  around line 41:

#ifdef _WINDOWS
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#else
#include <GL/gl.h> // ~line 41: ADD THIS FOR "MSYS Makefiles"
#include <GL/glut.h>
#endif
#endif

I hope it also helps for the "MinGW Makefiles" cmake-option!

It seems that, depending on the GLUT implementation that you are using, the 
calling 
convention for GL&GLUT functions might be "guessed incorrectly". 

For example, on my system, when including gl.h before glut.h, APIENTRY is set 
to 
__stdcall and everything works fine. 

When including glut.h only, I get an "empty definition" for APIENTRY:
#define APIENTRY 
This leads to the above mentioned linker errors...

I hope that helped!

p.s.: Maybe other preprocessor tokens like "CALLBACK" lead to similar errors.

I don't know a lot about compilers, but I can read error messages and decide 
what I need and don't need. Since i'm using this for just physics and CD, i had 
to eliminate the threading files and so ignoring them in the build. This worked 
and it's simple (just in case anyone is a newbee or worse than I, here's how I 
did it: )

(I was having the same error btw as this user). I'm using MinGW32 version 4, 
CodeBlocks 10, and Bullet release 4.7. On Win Vista Home Premium. I opened a 
new project in Code::Blocks (CB) and went to the directory where I downloaded 
and unpacked Bullet Physics (BP) by right clicked my project name 
(bulletphysicstest) and ->Add Recursively that file (C:\Bullet\src - (i 
installed it in C:\Bullet). 

I was having errors making it relating to OpenCL as well as the Threading 
libraries from BP, so, like mikhail..@gmail.com above, I went to  
http://chortle.ccsu.edu/Bloodshed/glutming.zip and downloaded just 
thelibglut32.a file into the directory where i have mingw compiler lib 
(mingw/lib) (you can check where yours is in CB by going to the menu 
bar->Settings->Compiler and Debugger->Toolchains and Executables tab->C++ 
compiler (or c, or whatever you're using).
That cleared the first problem.

The second problem the Build was failing on was dealing with the Threading 
libraries, so in panel that lists all sources/headers and others, i deleted the 
threading folder (recursively, so all subfolders were deleted as well). 

There are many threading apps if you need, including windows.h built in 
threaders, (i use sfml's sf::Thread for simple stuff though it's mostly for my 
graphics library). 

In any case, I cleaned, and rebuilt the project, and it all compiled without 
errors. Ready to go.

I also got the cmake . -G "MinGW Makefiles" fail

Got it to work by appending two lines in CMakeLists.txt:

After:
            #TODO add better GLUT detection for MinGW
Append:
            INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR}/Glut)
            SET(GLUT_glut_LIBRARY ${BULLET_PHYSICS_SOURCE_DIR}/Glut/glut32.lib)

Hope this helps
