including opengl library
Author
for some reason, it's not seeing that i'm including the <gl/gl.h> files and whatnot... i get an error for every gl command i use. am i missing something?
If you're getting errors like these
1>Linking...1>vis_console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glEnd@01>vis_console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glBegin@41>D:/Apps/foobar2000_0.8.3/own/foo_vis_console.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
If you are on a case sensitive platform you might need to include <GL/gl.h> (instead of <gl/gl.h>)
However, if you're on Windows you don't have to worry about it.

did you put
#include <windows.h>
before including gl/gl.h ?
Seems your compiler is missing those definitions of basic window stuff.

hmm... well, how do i not need that stuff. b/c i'm trying to make my programs cross platform and i switched to opengl so i don't need windows stuff.
OpenGL doesn't provide platform independence; it just happens to be platform independent itself. You'll need to use OpenGL with something like SDL or GLUT for full platform independence.
#ifdef _WIN32
#influde windows
#include gl.h
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32
#include gl.h
so your code stays platform independant
#influde windows
#include gl.h
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32
#include gl.h
so your code stays platform independant
be sure you linked the "gl.lib" in the project dev evenvironment.
I get the exact same errors when I forget.
