Alright so I was able to grab the scroll bar right after I hit enter and it said this; error gl.h included before glew.h error gl.h included before glew.h

You appear to be including the OpenGL headers before including glew.h in some translation unit. That cannot work, GLEW takes over all responsibility normally held by gl.h. If your own sources or library headers you use include gl.h directly or indirectly you must ensure glew.h is included before they are.

I have not added GLTools.h yet and I added glew.h above gl.h and that error went away and all I got was: "In file included from triangle.cpp:6:0:

I think the header files may be set up to build under MSVC, so the #ifdefs may be set incorrectly. What if you add -DGLAPI to the command line?

Just at the end of my command line, or where I put my -o to rename my file and -Wall to turn on error checking?

Did you at least tryed to read this??? Or look at this??? Can you post more than one sentence per post??? If you want to be serious about programming, you have to learn to solve problem on your own sometime. We can help but we can't hold your hand every time a little problem arise.

Also, do you really need that GLTool.h? It might be usefull to follow some example in the book, but im pretty sure most of the code can work without it, or with similar code. Beside, that's not like this is the only ressource to learn from. Most of the time when i see files like that, i just ignore them and try to do without them to be honest. What will you do when you work in the industry? Ask everyone to use GLTool.h because that's what you used at school and can't do without it? Like i said, it's nice to learn from that book but far from indispensable.

There's a fully compiled example here for vs 2010, and before you tell me vs is crap like in you other posts, well it's not, and at least you don't have to work with the command line, which is IMO really, really outdated (i dont get why ppl still compile in command line for anything except assembly...) Another thing that annoy me with your book is that it uses it's own OpenGL headers and libraries files, and they're in the same folder as the default one(for visual studio at least) so it complicate the projects setup a bit (ie: you might have to rename the existing folder or files for example to make the code work properly, or move them, or whatever...)

I'm sorry I did not know the opengl community was so sensitive to talking bad about microsoft, I am new and it will not happen again.
