The GL.H file for C++ compiler

HunterX · 2003-11-11T10:57:23

Hi. I downloaded some toturials from a web page, and I read them, and I think I understood as well. But when I came to the point where I was supposed to compile the 3D model/object (using SDL), I get an annoying error from the compiler. Somehow it seems that the GL.H header file is either corrupt, or too old for the program. Therefor I was wondering if someone of you knew the location of a working GL.H file... HunterX

Well, your compiler is under the distinct impression that you don''t....sure you included the file in the project?

int main(int argc, char **argv)

Try using this in place of your current int main(void).

SDL uses its own gl.h file. it should be in your SDL directory the include directory of your compiler. the line to include it is:

#include "sdl/sdl_opengl.h"

Instead of:

#include "gl/gl.h"

*I think*

Also goto the SDL web site and download the manual http://www.libsdl.org/docs.php it has a tutorial on how to set OGL up with SDL.
