Hi, I''m learning programing using the Redbook, which uses GLUT and for any of you people who are familiar w/ GLUT may be able to help me w/ this... When I''m compiling I get this error.... --------------------Configuration: cheese - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... cheese.cpp c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : error C2144: syntax error : missing '';'' before type ''void'' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : error C2501: ''WINGDIAPI'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Error executing cl.exe. cheese.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s) When I double click on one of the errors it sends me to a hudge page of confusing code, anyone want to help me?

Well, after installing the header files I''m getting this error...

--------------------Configuration: Begining - Win32 Release--------------------
Compiling...
Begining.cpp
Linking...
LIBC.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Release/Begining.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Begining.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Anyone understand what I''m doing wrong?

I think your project is set to a windows project as opposed to a console project. It''s looking for a function called WinMain but you supplying it with just main. You can change some parameters in the project settings to get to to build for console or you can just remake your project and select "console application" instead of "Windows application"
