If it's supported, you don't need to link anything. It's part of the
graphics driver. To see if it's supported you can use
glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) to give you a space-separated list of
extensions supported by your OpenGL driver. If EXT_framebuffer_object
is there, you're in business.
You may need to download the latest glext.h from
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/glext.h
Also, you'll want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your
card, since EXT_framebuffer_object is still fairly new.
Another think you may want to look at is GLEW (GL Extensions Wrangler).
I've never used it myself, but I've heard that it can make dealing with
GL extensions nicer.
