I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't seem to figure out what. When I compile my test program, the compiler flags more than 100 errors in gl.h, and none in my actual program. Are there any sort of flags I should set in order for VC++ to compile gl.h correctly? I'd post code, but the only errors reported are in gl.h. Thanks in advance!

you need to add the lib files to your compiler also.

glaux.lib glu32.lib opengl32.lib

under linker->input

Also you need to #include <windows.h> before gl.h!

Okay, I just found out that I had to include <windows.h> before gl.h - strangely, I only found this out by scouring the internet for a similar problem. Why isn't it mentioned in most tutorials (Windows-specific ones, even!) that this is necessary? Oh well.
