Problems with setting up opengl and visual studio 2010

Question

I am a beginner for opengl and visual studio. I am using VS2010 and I met several problems when setting up opengl. I downloaded the NVDIA SDK so I have the gl.h and other header files under include directory. I downloaded glut and put glut32.dll in the same directory as my source file. It does not work if I put glut32.dll under system32. I can see the file using explorer but it is not visible for other applications including VS2010. I also put the lib files to the right windows SDK folder and added the linkers glut32.lib glu32.lib opengl32.lib to my project. I found this code online http://uowteaminvincible.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/getting-started-with-opengl-and-glut-in-microsoft-visual-studio-2008-in-windows-vista/

it does not give me anything but a write window(even I uncommented some functions in the end)

Also there is a lot of errors(but can be compiled and run)

Please help. Thank you!

Answer 1

Try including windows.h before gl.h

Also, see this Can't include <gl/gl.h>
