I am learning OpenGL programming and i wrote this program but it doesn''t want to compile. I have compiled other OpenGL programs but this one gives me this weird error. Its a linking error. Anyone help me out here? --------------------Configuration: ch2 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Linking... ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gluPerspective@32 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glLoadIdentity@0 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glMatrixMode@4 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glViewport@16 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglDeleteContext@4 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglMakeCurrent@8 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__wglCreateContext@4 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glEnd@0 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glVertex3f@12 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glBegin@4 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glColor3f@12 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glRotatef@16 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glTranslatef@12 ch2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glClear@4 LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main Debug/ch2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 15 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe. ch2.exe - 16 error(s), 0 warning(s) Keep It Real!

''unresolved external'' = missing function.

you need to link the gl libraries, and write your main() function

it does too compile, you are getting a linker error. learn proper terminology....

link "OpenGL32.lib".

and if you have a WinMain function then create a Win32 application not console.
