how’s that happen. can someone fix that to me. i tot it must b a compiler error. i really need ur help. thanks again in advance.

actually it’s not a compiler error- the compilation was ok. “unresolved external symbol” means that the linker did not find a function that you used in your code. the listed functions are included in opengl32.dll, glu32.dll and gdi32.dll, i guess, so you should set the compiler flags accordingly.

i do not often program in windows, so i cannot give you much advice on how to set the library flags. i use a borland compiler on the command line, so for me it would look like

bcc32 -o test test.cpp -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lgdi32

Hi !

There is nothing wrong with your code, but you need to tell the linker that you use OpenGL, you need to add the opengl32.lib import library to your project, if you are using Visual Studio right click the project name in the solution tree, select “Properties” from the menu and open the “Linker” branch in the Configuration properties tree, select “Input” branch and enter “opengl32.lib” in the “Additional Dependencies” text box. (in your case you also need to add the glu32.lib because you use GLU functions).
