Hi -

I'm sure theres' a straightforward answer to this question. I'm trying to 
link
an object file (main.o) with the OpenGL libraries but I'm getting the 
following
error:

$ g++ main.o -lglut -lGL -lGLU -o demo
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot 
find
-lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Which is quite surprising because I only just reinstalled the latest version 
of
Cygwin (all of it). What am I not doing right?

Thanks,

- Olumide
