I''m having a slight difficulty with tutorial....1 :| Yes, I am quiet new to OpenGL but when I set up a window I always get this error: `CDS_FULLSCREEN'' undeclared (first use this function) That''s even if I compile the straight source from the tutorial. I''m currently using Dev-C++. If anyone can help me I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thank you to all who reply.

The CDS_FULLSCREEN constant is not defined in Dev-C++ for some reason. This was fixed in one of the later NeHe basecode updates:

(straight from the header)
#ifndef CDS_FULLSCREEN // CDS_FULLSCREEN Is Not Defined By Some
#define CDS_FULLSCREEN 4 // Compilers.
#endif

Just copy this near the top of your source, and everything should work nicely.

Thank you, but now I''m getting this error :-/

c:\windows\TEMP\cczcVagb.o(.text+0x38):lesson1.cpp: undefined reference to `glViewport@16''

It goes on for several errors...Anyone? Thank again

Sounds like you''re not including the OpenGL libraries. If so change the project setting or use pragma comments, I think they look like this but cant remember for certain. Maybe someone can confirm that for me.....

#pragma comment( lib, "opengl32.lib" );

Yes, that is the format (make sure you do the same for GLu32.lib and GLaux.lib as well).

I don''t think that is his problem, because I think he would get more than just a few errors referring to glViewPort.

Sorry it''s so big but those are the compiler and linker output errors I''m getting. I''m really confused. Not even the basecode that I download will compile.

Er... that looks like you haven''t included the header files. Or you don''t have them at all.

scott, looks like your not linking to opengl32.lib

I personally find CDS_RESET has fewer compatibility qwirks than CDS_FULLSCREEN. but thats just me.
