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?

Did you include windows.h before including gl.h?

If you''re using GLUT, you shouldn''t directly include the OpenGL or GLU headers since their location and inclusion style differs depending upon the platform (as Dave Hunt was getting at: in Windows, the GL header includes WGL definitions for some reason, without first including other needed headers). Instead, just include the GLUT header, and it should take care of it.

Ahh, no. But that reveals that my School doesn''t have GLUT...
