I''m trying to compile an OpenGL program that draws a triangle, and that''s it, and I''m getting this error. c:\code\msvc\opengl test\opengl test.cpp(163) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive I included , , and . I linked opengl32.lib, glu32.lib, and glaux.lib. Is there anything else I need to do? - f l u c k y p o o - the geek inside

Turnig off precompiled headers is one option (see the other posts). But precompiled headers are by no means useless, especially when you have a large project: they will reduce your compilation time. The trick is to buid the project, in order for the precompiled header to be generated.

This means:
1. generate a new project
2. Add some code
3. instead of compiling a file build the project

IIRC, you need to do this pnly once, as long as you don''t modify stdafx.h (wich you shouldn''t!)

Ok, I tried going and removing all the /Fc and /Yc stuff, only there wasn''t any /Yc stuff. So I just removed the /Fc, and that didn''t fix it. Then I told my project to use no precompiled headers, and I got a bunch of Windows errors, I think because it wasn''t using stdafx.h. So I put that back.. and it still doesn''t work. I remember a long time ago, the first time I was trying to get OpenGL to work it just worked fine without chaging any funky compiler options. Are you supposed to have to do this for each project?

Well, right now I only have one file since this is just a little opengl test program to try and set the graphics mode and draw a triangle. Here are the errors I get when I disable all the precompiled headers.

Go to the OpenGL link in my signature, download Lesson 1, build it, and look at what is different in your headers. Also, I noticed in glVertex3f you only sent it 2 coordinates, so check your code again.

c:\code\msvc\opengl test\main.cpp(148) : error C2065: ''glTranslate'' : undeclared identifier its meant to be glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); (you might want glVertex2f )
