Perhaps you could post the exact error message you receive. Does it say something like ''Unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16'' ?

try adding the following lines to thetop of your code

#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "glu32.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "glaux.lib")

That is what error I got
Waldoo

Did you create a project? If so, make sure it is a Win32 Application (not console). Secondly, you have to make sure to link opengl32.lib and glu32.lib.

Terminate: I tried your new code, the error i got left is

--------------------Configuration: Lesson12 - Win32 Debug--------------------

Lesson12.cpp

LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

Anyone may reply for suggestion to resolve this problem

I told you to make sure you don''t make a console application . If you really did make a "Win32 Application," then that error is weird.

I am newbie to VC++ could you please post brief tutorial how to reverse win32 console application?

Waldoo

To convert a project that was created as a Console Application into a Win32 Application go:

Project->Settings and click on the Link tab.

In the Project Options section look for /subsystem:console. Then replace it with /subsystem:windows.

This will make the linker look for WinMain and not main.


An optional thing to do is to change the _CONSOLE preprocessor definition into _WINDOWS. It''s optional because I don''t believe it _CONSOLE is used in any of the Win32 headers. It is mainly for the programmer to check if his/her app is compiled as a console or Win32 app.

Thank you all for the codes, it resolved most of the problem I have with Nehe''s lesson #8. My VC++ is able to run the program but has slight problem, the texture mapping on a box is kinda weird half of square is all smeared. I think its probably a single mistyped in the script. I will review through it to find the error. But after running the program VC++ posted error like this below. I would like to have all bugs fixed anyone pls help with this plm.

Thank you
Waldoo
