GNAT 3.15 - missing DLL after linking with OpenGL

GNAT 3.15 - missing DLL after linking with OpenGL

[John F. Haddon]

Dear All,

I've just installed GNAT 3.15p and GNATWIN 3.15p on a Windows NT (and a
Windows 98) system and have tried to link with GLUT. Under Windows NT I get
the error message "The dynamic link library ll.dll could no be found in the
specified path". Under Windows 98, the error message is "Error starting
program, a required .DLL file, LL.DLL was not found". The path is OK and I'
ve done a search for the dll across the whole of both systems, both before
and after installation. It does not exist. The compile/link command
generates a valid executable under GNAT 3.14 that performs normally. The
program was ada_speres.adb, part of the standard distribution for GLUT3.7.6
To simplify the problem, I've reduced the program to a minimum and get the
same error.:

----------------------------------------------------------
with glut;
with Interfaces.C.Strings;

procedure test is
      Result  : Integer;
      C_Title : Interfaces.C.Strings.Chars_Ptr:=
Interfaces.C.Strings.New_String ("FRED");
begin
   Result := glut.Glutcreatewindow (C_Title);
   Interfaces.C.Strings.Free (C_Title);
end test;
-----------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be appreciated as I use Opengl in almost all my programs!

If you use a non-3.15p import library, try rebuilding it with the 3.15p
dlltool.
