Windows XP, Visual Studio .NET and GLUT (OpenGL)

[VS.NET-XP]

Tried the Win32 Project to create a win23 console version. Get these errors:

Win32ConsoleWin32ProjectCube fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
Win32ConsoleWin32ProjectCube error LNK2005: _main already defined in Win32ConsoleWin32ProjectCube.obj

and I am using glutCreateWindows. This is the whole program : http://www.eng.auburn.edu/~kchang/comp7400/cube.c from Dr. Angle’s web site http://www.cs.unm.edu/~angel/BOOK/SECOND_EDITION/

Link is the program that is a working program. Works fine compiling on Unix system with some #include monification. Professor did a demo. I add the #pragma comments line before the #include lines in order to get pass the link errors.

Just noticed the comment about MFC... I'm confused now. Are you using MFC to create your window or glutCreateWindow? If you're using MFC to create the window, you'll need to use ChoosePixelFormat, DescribePixelFormat, and SetPixelFormat in order to enable OpenGL. If you're using glutCreateWindow, recreate your project as a Win32 console app and try again...

Did you create a Win32 console app that had source code and then try and add that .c file as another file? That's a no no... that will cause you to have two main() functions, and give you that error.

I know it doesn't help you a lot, but I just did a GLUT program under VS.NET, works like a charm.

I don't think the problem is from .NET nor GLUT. There must be something messy somewhere else.

Make sure you that in application settings you choose console application and
check empty project and turn of precompiled headers.
That should do it.
