    opengl Nehe tutorial errors when compiling

    Hi I was interested in learning Opengl and I heard Nehe's tutorials were good. so i typed in what he had and i built it, i got 15 errors and to make sure that it was'nt typing errors i copied and pasted the source code and i still had 15 building errors. I am using visual C++ 6.0 and i have attached a screen shot of what i am seeing. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong please tell me.
    -Thank you everyone.

    you haven't attached the sreen shot

    When you copy the code.....

    You have to put it into the main window, which you create with the winAPI....

    It think, that you just copied the code, without having the code for the window.....
