Look''s like someone forgot to link to the OpenGL librarys.

thanks a lot for all your replies but i am unfortunately still getting the same error. which makes me think it''s a configuration problem.

i am linking to OpenGL32.lib GLu32.lib GLaux.lib in addition to the regular libraries. is there something else i should try?

thanks a lot
jake

well i just cleared everything out and started from scratch and now it compiles. i don''t know what the problem was but thanks a lot to all the people who replied. thanks
