I just started on the book "Beginning OpenGL Game Programming" but I', having problems with the chapter 1 code.

I use Code::Blocks and when i try to compile the source for the first example program these errors pop up in the "Build messages" section:

||=== Build finished: 14 errors, 0 warnings ===|

I've spent some time trying to figure this out.

I'm really exited about starting OpenGL, so some help would be awesome

Thanks, that got rid of some, now i got this:

Found the problem, but now i got this:

googled it, but really can't find any solution that helps.
I am using Code::Blocks btw, and i can post source-code if that would be of help

SDL provides SDLmain.lib which provides OS specific main implementations, such as WinMain(). The main() you write is actually #defined as SDL_main(). You need to link -lSDLmain aswell.
