GLUI problem when using cocos2d OpenGL

Question

Has anyone come across this problem when building with cocos2d (OpenGL library for iPhone 2D games)?

"glui/GL/glui.h" file is not found
gluOrtho2D was not declared
GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT was not declared.

There seems to be very little info on GLUI for iPhone on the web. I am new to OpenGL, so appreciate the help! I have included OpenGLES CoreGraphics libraries, even tried adding linker flag "-framework GLUI" but to no avail.

Thanks!

Are you following along w/the getting started Cocos2d: http://monoclestudios.com/cocos2d_whitepaper.html

Answer 2

I solved this problem by

• removing cocos2d's external/Box2d/Testbed directory
• adding GLUI.framework from /Library/Frameworks/GLUI.framework (and setting the framework search path)

It compiles successfully, but dies on launching in simulator with this error, which seems unrelated to the question above.

I was finally able to get this working by following a different tutorial. The Monocles tutorial is outdated since it uses cocos2d v.0.7.2.

There has been significant change to cocos2d v.0.8, which comes pre-packaged with an easy to use XCode Project Template, and in v.0.9, libraries filenames have been further improved with the CC prefix to avoid namespace collision. I would recommend this tutorial instead:
