Hey,
I’m programming in borland C++ 4.52 $ vc++6.0. Both give me the same error for gl.h

Error …\BC45\INCLUDE\GL\GL.H 832: Declaration syntax error
Error …\BC45\INCLUDE\GL\GL.H 833: Variable ‘WINGDIAPI’ is initialized more than once

Which is repeated for every part of it. This error happens for bot programs. The #includes that im using are:

#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

I’m fairly new to opengl programing. Any help would be great!!

Hi and good morning,

<<<<<<<<<<

all that means is that WINGDIAPI is defined more than once, which is odd. I programmed in Borland C++ 4.52 and never saw that message.

Look inside gl.h for WINGDIAPI and if it’s redefined, remove it. It should only be defined in windows.h

If you are using glut, don’t include windows.h.
