Setting Up OpenGL for Windows

In the System Directory

• glu32.dll
  
• opengl32.dll
  
• glut32.dll

In the C++ Include Directory

• gl\gl.h
  
• gl\glu.h
  
• gl\glaux.h (probably won't need it)
  
• gl\glut.h (includes both gl.h and glu.h)

In the C++ Library Directory

• gl\glu32.lib
  
• gl\opengl32.lib
  
• gl\glaux.lib (probably won't need it)
  
• gl\glut32.lib

If so, try the following change in glut.h:

extern _CRTIMP void __cdecl exit(int);

to

extern _CRTIMP __declspec(noreturn) void __cdecl exit(int);
