    C++ Error when trying to make a SphereMap with OpenGL

    Hello, I'm trying to make a Sphere Map, and I get an error that says:
    Redeclaration of C++ built in type 'short'

    That error comes from a .h file that i link to, which is included with OpenGL 3.7
    Any ideas?

    Anyway get an updated header
    http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/glxext.h
    or
    http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/gl3.h

    depending on what you are using.

    I have the updated version of those headers, it's the glsmap.h header that's giving me problems. I've tried to find a new version, but they all have the same line that gives me problems.
    the line is:
    typedef unsigned short wchar_t
