When ever I try to compile a program which uses the GLUT libraries in DMC, I get the following error message:

"C:\dm\bin\...\lib\glut32.lib : Not a Valid Library File"

Does anyone know a way to fix this problem?

-js

It's probably in COFF format. Optlink needs libraries to be in OMF format. You could try COFF2OMF on it.

I solved this problem by using Borland C++'s impdef and implib to generate my own glut32.lib.
