You need to link with the OpenGL lib, which is OpenGL32.lib IIRC.
He also needs to link to glu32.lib

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.

thanks, i totally forgot about that.
how to link?

Using what compiler/IDE? In MSVC6, you can go to Project->Settings->Link (tab), and add them there.

jMonkeyEngine 3.0 | Java OpenGL Game Engine
libGDX - Java Game Development Framework

#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "glu32.lib")
