Error

Hai friends

Im a beginner in opengl

I have compiled the below code (i found this in redbook codes) and im getting the following error,

i dont know what is wrong, can any one help to solve it.

for this code, i have added in project->properties

c/c+±>includeGeneral->AdditionalDirectories

(i have included the following paths)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\gl
C:\WINDOWS\system32

the error iam getting is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\stdlib.h(256): error C2381: ‘exit’ : redefinition; __declspec(noreturn) differs

place a #include <windows.h> before any other include

The code is OK here on my machine. you needn’t to include windows.h if you are using glut.h, maybe you can create a new project and add a new cpp file, copy total code and link necessary lib files and compile again, I have encountered this problem before, and the most effective way is to create a new one.

this is the simplest solution.

  1. file extension should be .c not .cpp
  2. stdio and stdlib is on top before others.

Thanks for all the kind replies

I have compiled the file already in .c format only but then also it had shown that same error.

And also i have created many new projects and compiled the codes but also it gave the same error.

now i have included the
#include<Windows.h> and it compiled properly and i can see the output too…

Ffelagund, can you pls explain about the error, and why you told to include windows.h

Thankyou
