OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Iam new to openGL and Iam tring to get some simple programs to run with glut and VC++. I included the lib glut32.lib in the link list, but when I compile I keep getting the error unresolved global symbol _winmain@16 when it tries to link?

any suggestions

thanks

Great! It kind of worked. The only problem now is that it can’t find the glut32.dll. I don’t know where to put the .dll file?

any suggestions

thanks

Place the glut32.dll into your Windows/System directory, or the program’s working directory.

Ok I put the glut32.dll in the windows\system, but now it keeps saying that glut32.dll is linked to missing export? _glutCreateWindowWithExit?

thanks
