OpenGL OpenGL: User Software

I downloaded the first Redbbok sample “aaindex” into Visual Studio 2008 and go the following message

1>------ Build started: Project: aaindex, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling…
1>aaindex.cpp

Can anyone get me started?

Thanks for any help

I think you problem is the same as what is discussed here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14264/using-glut-with-visual-c-express-edition

basically try putting:

#define GLUT_DISABLE_ATEXIT_HACK

before you include glut.

I hope that helps.
