I want to use OpenGL 1.2

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding
1

I am going through the “OpenGL Programming Guide (Third Edition)” and I tried to do the following line:

glGetFloatv(GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE, size);

but the compiler said it didn’t know what GL_SMOOTH_POINT_SIZE_RANGE was. So I looked in the gl.h file and couldn’t find this constant anywhere. I noticed that my gl.h file says:

#define GL_VERSION_1_1 1

So does that mean I’m compiling using version 1.1? And if so, where can I get 1.2 headers and libraries for windows?

Ask Bill!
M$ already has 1.2

Huh- I’ve already done some searching at Microsoft, SGI, OPENGL, and even nVidia for the libraries and headers. But no success.

They have got it from SGI but refuses to release it. You can use the extensions instead.
