OpenGL project returns with undefined references - c++

Question

I am following a tutorial for OpenGL from this site. I have downloaded and installed (hopefully correctly) the OpenGL libraries that are used. (GLEW, GLFW, GLM). However, when I compile the code from the site, I find a lot of errors with undefined references.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GL/glfw.h>
#include <glm/glm.hpp>
using namespace glm;
int main( void )
{
// Initialize GLFW
if( !glfwInit() )
{
fprintf( stderr, "Failed to initialize GLFW\n" );
return -1;
}
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_FSAA_SAMPLES, 4);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_WINDOW_NO_RESIZE,GL_TRUE);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
// Open a window and create its OpenGL context
if( !glfwOpenWindow( 1024, 768, 0,0,0,0, 32,0, GLFW_WINDOW ) )
{
fprintf( stderr, "Failed to open GLFW window. If you have an Intel GPU, they are not 3.3 compatible. Try the 2.1 version of the tutorials.\n" );
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
// Initialize GLEW
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize GLEW\n");
return -1;
}
glfwSetWindowTitle( "Playground" );
// Ensure we can capture the escape key being pressed below
glfwEnable( GLFW_STICKY_KEYS );
// Dark blue background
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.3f, 0.0f);
do{
// Draw nothing, see you in tutorial 2 !
// Swap buffers
glfwSwapBuffers();
} // Check if the ESC key was pressed or the window was closed
while( glfwGetKey( GLFW_KEY_ESC ) != GLFW_PRESS &&
glfwGetWindowParam( GLFW_OPENED ) );
// Close OpenGL window and terminate GLFW
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}

Re-reading the makefile output, I see you don't actually link with the GL libraries. You need to modify the project setting to include the libraries.
