I have download the lib and header files and placed them in the Micorsoft Visual Studio folder ("C:\Program\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include" and "..\lib"). I have not changed anything in the source file "hello.c". When I compile I get this error: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Linking... LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 Debug/Hello.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe.

If I recall correctly you will make it a console-app NOT a win32-app and it will work fine.

Cause the examples in that book are platform independant and there for no win32-codes

Thanks mr.Quick-Witted!

But in which folder shall I place the glut32.dll
(I get a messagebox whitch says "cant find DLL file glut32.dll")?

Thank you very much!

You can just dump the glut32.dll into your windows/system directory, or in the same directory as the executable. If you do the latter, just remember that VC++ uses debug and release directories, so dump it in that.
