Hello. No matter what I do, I could never get NeHe lesson 1 to compile correctly in MSVC++ 6.0 SP5. I get the following: --------------------Configuration: OGLSnook - Win32 Debug-------------------- Linking... OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gluPerspective@32 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glLoadIdentity@0 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glMatrixMode@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glViewport@16 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glHint@8 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glDepthFunc@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glEnable@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glClearDepth@8 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glClearColor@16 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glShadeModel@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glClear@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglDeleteContext@4 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglMakeCurrent@8 OGLSnook.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglCreateContext@4 LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main What''s the problem? What am I leaving out? Thanks for any help.

this is NOT a compiler error. it's a linker error.

1) you need to create a Win32 console application.
2) you need to link the "OpenGL32.lib" file to your application.

Edit: also you need to link "glu32.lib".

peace.

Thanks for the help.

I''m still getting

--------------------Configuration: OGLSnook - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

Have I missed something else?

You've mistakenly chosen to make a console app, not a win32 app.

RTM.
