i am learning openGl with the help of hawkins and Astle book (OpenGl Game Programming). However I ran into problems trying to compile the first *sight* code showing how to use wgl. I am using MS vc++6, and i have all the .h and .lib files in correct locations (i can compile most demos of the cd). When i try to compile the code these is what i get, please help

Did you try a search? Why Not? Link opengl32.lib. For more information try that search.

doh I didnt realise to link it

#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib") // Link OpenGL32.lib
#pragma comment(lib, "glu32.lib") // Link Glu32.lib

i tied this and it works, although the book doesnt contain these two lines, unless i am going blind it wasnt even mentioned.
still a great book imo.
