Hello,

I've been trying to get OpenGL to work for weeks now, and it's just not happening. Could someone please help me get it to work?

I am using the MinGW C compiler and have the following files in the correct folders within the MinGW folder:

opengl32.lib
glu32.lib
glut32.lib
gl.h
glu.h
glut.h

In system folder:
opengl32.dll
glu32.dll
glut32.dll

The following is the code that I am trying to get to work...

I'm fairly sure I'm not compiling it properly....but here it is anyway:

(This it not my code, it is from 'THE RED BOOK', and I just want to see if opengl is working before I start coding)

Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>

void display(void)
{
/* clear all pixels  */
   glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

/* draw white polygon (rectangle) with corners at
 * (0.25, 0.25, 0.0) and (0.75, 0.75, 0.0)  
 */
   glColor3f (1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
   glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
      glVertex3f (0.25, 0.25, 0.0);
      glVertex3f (0.75, 0.25, 0.0);
      glVertex3f (0.75, 0.75, 0.0);
      glVertex3f (0.25, 0.75, 0.0);
   glEnd();

/* don't wait!  
 * start processing buffered OpenGL routines 
 */
   glFlush ();
}

void init (void) 
{
/* select clearing color 	*/
   glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

/* initialize viewing values  */
   glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
   glLoadIdentity();
   glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
}

/* 
 * Declare initial window size, position, and display mode
 * (single buffer and RGBA).  Open window with "hello"
 * in its title bar.  Call initialization routines.
 * Register callback function to display graphics.
 * Enter main loop and process events.
 */
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   glutInit(&argc, argv);
   glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
   glutInitWindowSize (250, 250); 
   glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100);
   glutCreateWindow ("hello");
   init ();
   glutDisplayFunc(display); 
   glutMainLoop();
   return 0;   /* ANSI C requires main to return int. */
}
Thanks in advance,

Stuart
