Im attempting to make OpenGL and SDL work hand in hand. Here is my problem.

When i compile my source code(Listed below) i get this error.

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : error C2144: syntax error : missing ‘;’ before type ‘void’
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : error C2501: ‘WINGDIAPI’ : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

which refers to the gl/gl header file. But i have not change this file so why would it be corrupt. Here is my source code. It is simply an attempt to get the SDL input syntax, and opengl syntax to work. Any suggestions on how to make it work??

#include “windows.h” at the top of all the includes…it worked for me

well that works right up to the point when i try to compile/execute the program.

then i end up with A BUNCH!! of linking errors, most pertaining to gl function calls.

Any more suggestions

Are you linking to gl32.lib and glu32.lib?
