8 Gl.h errors with included windows.h...

Hello, I have tried searching the web for a solution to these errors on gl.h, but am unable to find a solution to them.

I get these errors

Code:

c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\gl.h|177|error: expected identifier before numeric constant|

c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\gl.h|177|error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant|

c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\gl.h|177|error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant|

for

Code:

typedef enum {
	/* Boolean values */
	GL_FALSE			= 0,
	GL_TRUE				= 1,

	/* Data types */
	GL_BYTE				= 0x1400,
	GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE		= 0x1401,
	GL_SHORT			= 0x1402,
	GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT		= 0x1403,
	GL_INT				= 0x1404,
	GL_UNSIGNED_INT			= 0x1405,
	GL_FLOAT			= 0x1406,
	GL_DOUBLE			= 0x140A,
	GL_2_BYTES			= 0x1407,
	GL_3_BYTES			= 0x1408,
	GL_4_BYTES			= 0x1409,

Code:

And these errors for the rest:

c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\gl.h|961|error: expected declaration before '}' token|

c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\gl.h|940|error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant|

the entire code is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

EDIT: OpenGL header removed by moderator.

Are you simply trying to compile the actual GL.H header? I'm not sure what's going on here, but if you could elaborate I can try to help. I use linux and Code::Blocks, but I didn't see anyone else replying. Perhaps the ambiguity is the problem?

I have included gl.h into my main file. However, I recieve these errors when I try to compile my main file.

It might help if you tell us what line 177 is. Copy that line and a few lines before it, and mark the line (or at least make it clear which it is).

Probably has something to do with that being gl.h from a (old) Linux distribution (This is the MinGW version, completely different), and even then it's been modified. Since you or something else has changed the header files that came with and specifically tailored to your compiler, all bets are off regarding what you'll be able to compile.

You'll need to reinstall your compiler to get the originals back, and leave them alone. Mark the files read-only if you want to be sure they don't change. Compile errors coming from standard headers are caused by your code, not because the header is incorrect. Not with something as widely distributed as MinGW anyway.

I should close the thread simply for posting the entire OpenGL header. I think it is against the license listed in the header to display the code on a public forum. You do not need to post the header to fix the problems you are having. Header source removed.

Thanks for all the help!!! I will not post the entire glut code again
