where did you get the gl headers from? this makes a big differece... one very easy way out of this is to use one on the openGL extension loaders for you.. for example if you use GLee, jsut put #include "GLee.h" in your code and GLee automagically does the mess for you (because it includes the necessary windows junk for you IF you are in Windows)...

I think I had the exact same problem as you. I know its frustrating. What I did was go to

http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html

put the .dll in I think
C:\WINDOWS\system32 or C:\WINDOWS\system(check the readme to be sure)

then put the .lib in vc libary and the .h in the inlcude directory

then at the top of your code just put

#include

and nothing else. This atleast worked for me.
