hi guys, I'm totally new to openGL coding...by reading the redbook O tried to compile the following code using codeblocks IDE but couldnt compile...I have added the errors which are shown... can sm1 please explain the errors and provide the necessary remedy...HELP..... :( #include <windows.h> #include <gl/gl.h> void display (void) { //glClearColor(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); //glOrtho(0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0); glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glVertex3f(0.25,0.25,0.0); glVertex3f(0.75,0.25,0.0); glVertex3f(0.75,0.75,0.0); glVertex3f(0.25,0.75,0.0); glEnd(); glFlush(); } void init (void){ glClearColor(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0); glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity (); glOrtho(0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0); } int main(int argc, char** argv) { glutInit (&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB); glutInitWindowSize (250, 250); glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100); glutCreateWindow ("hello"); init (); glutDisplayFunc (display); glutMainLoop (); return 0; } errors : D:\practice\opengl\main.c|33|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutInit'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutInitDisplayMode'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|error: `GLUT_SINGLE' undeclared (first use in this function)| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|error: `GLUT_SINGLE' undeclared (first use in this function)| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|error: for each function it appears in.)| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|34|error: `GLUT_RGB' undeclared (first use in this function)| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|35|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutInitWindowSize'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|36|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutInitWindowPosition'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|37|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutCreateWindow'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|39|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutDisplayFunc'| D:\practice\opengl\main.c|40|warning: implicit declaration of function `glutMainLoop'|

It looks like you forgot to include the GLUT header.

#include <windows.h>

glutDisplayFunc (display);
glutMainLoop ();
return 0;
}

errors :

I added glut.h but still it doesnt work
the following error shows up :
D:\practice\opengl\main.c|2|glut.h: No such file or directory|

I have already addeed glu32,opengl32 and gdi 32 in the linker settings in the build option of codeblockss
