OpenGL SOIL Undefined reference to glBindTexture, glTexImage2d, etc

Question

I'm using C++ and Opengl, and I'm trying to use SOIL, but when I compile, I get undefined reference to glBindTexture, glTexImage2D, etc. However, this is only coming from SOIL.c, not my own source code. This is what the error produces:

My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 and my drivers are fully updated. I have everything linked and I'm using premake to manage my project. I'm developing on a linux machine, however, I'm trying to cross compile it onto my windows machine, which gives this error. If I compile it on linux, it's completely fine. This is my premake4.lua file:

My include files is this:

#include "opengl/gl_core_3_3.hpp"
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <SOIL/SOIL.h>
#include <glm/glm.hpp>
#include <glm/gtx/transform.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "loadshader.hpp"

I'm using mingw32 to compile my code. Before I was using SOIL, everything was fine. I downloaded SOIL from their webpage at lonesock.net, which I then copied over the libSOIL.a and their include files, but it just doesn't work.

Answer 1

Links order matters for g++. Try this order:

links { "SOIL", "glfw3", "opengl32", "gdi32", "glu32" }

(edit: fixed the OP answer according to the duplicated question in Premake forum: http://industriousone.com/topic/how-use-premake-compile-static-library)

Answer 2

Looking at SOIL homepage, they said that it must be linked staticly. So, instead of using dynamic linking ('-l' in gcc compiler), try to specify the full path of the library.
