setting up OpenGL in VC.NET 2002
Author
hi all i started a project in VC.NET, i picked on win32 application, then changed my selection to console application.
here is my code:
you'll notice i have gl and glu.h commented out. this is why i get all these errors when i try to build the application...it seems like all of the errors that the compiler does not like is in gl.h saying stuff about WINGDIAPI and APIENTRY and how it is a redefinition... funny how glut didnt give me any trouble.
also even though i have glut.h included how do i add the .lib files to the project? i am SO used to VC6 that this is a little bit different. thank you so much for your time and help..
To add the libraries, either do:
or (as that is compiler specific) go to Projects -> Properties, Linker, Command Line, and add the 3 libraries above (this is in 2003, but I'm sure it's similar).
As for commenting out gl/glu headers... You don't need to manually include them if you have glut. If you look in glut.h, you'll see it includes gl/glu already for you.
Try adding the libraries and rebuilding. Make sure you have choosen a Win32 Console Application. If there's still errors, post them.

That's an odd error indeed. Try removing the precompiled headers, that's the only thing I can think of that would be the problem there. Either remove them, or move the inclusion of windows.h to after the precompiled header has been included.
I usually have precompiled headers first, then the standard C++ libraries, then API libraries (Win32, GL, Glut, SDL, etc.), then custom project headers.
Can I ask why you have "using namespace std;" and then are using "std::cout", also?

Never include windows.h if you already include glut.h! You also don't need gl.h and glu.h if you use glut.
Good luck,

I can't see this being a problem with the libraries, because they're the last thing to be linked into the project. If it were a problem with libraries, it'd be a linker error, not a compile-time error.

hi again.. thanks for your input, i deleted the window, gl and glu.h lines. however i do not see where Project->Properties is. properties is not in projects..VC6 it was like this and as you say 2003.. but its not set up that way in 2002..evidently..
i am still looking, i havent stopped.. any ideas? anyone out there use .NET 2002?
You need to be creating a Win32 GDI app I believe. The console applications are text only, so OGL won't do you much good.
Console apps don't include GDI stuff, thats the WINGDIAPI error.
Start over as a non-console win32 app.

i dont want to use just a win32 app b/c i want to write something with glut and something that is portable. as someone said, glut.h include the gl and glu headers so that worked out well.
i see where i can go to projects->properties.. but i dont see the link tab/selection to add the libraries to the command line...:(

here is my updated code.. it looks like all the lib files were already included.. including glut32.lib. here is my code.. it compiles fine, 0 errors and 0 warnings, but no window opens up.. i just get the print out to the console...

Oh, right. Sorry, somehow it slipped my mind what glut was there for :)
