    opengl code not working

    hey, i got this code off the internet and it's supposed to create an opengl program but it doesn't build on my comp. Anyone know why? I have 16 unresolved external symbol errors.

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>		// Header File For Windows
    #include <gl\gl.h>			// Header File For The OpenGL32 Library
    #include <gl\glu.h>			// Header File For The GLu32 Library

    Jesus... You post 300 lines of code, say you got the most generic type of error, and ask us to fix it? What errors? Where? Unresolved symbol errors are frequently the result of you not including a specific library... Without knowing which symbols, we have no idea which lib...

    Govts. dead on, Link the Libs OpenGL32.lib, and GLU32.lib they should be in your compilers lib dir somewhere.

    Please don't post a full source code
    i have a 56k whick acts like a 14.4
    Next time just post the url to it.

    to tell u what the problem is we need to know what compiler your using and what *.lib you are linking.

    On older header and lib files you may have to do some #defines on your own.
    Basicly I need more info about your compiler to help
    Try to help all less knowledgeable than yourself, within
    the limits provided by time, complexity and tolerance.
