    How would we possibly know which compiler you're using.
    Or operating system for that matter.

    What search terms have you tried already?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    OpenGL doesn't have an SDK like DirectX. If you're using windows, the required headers and libraries should already be installed.

    "grafics.h"? Even assuming you mean "graphics.h", that is no OpenGL header. It is, if I remember correctly, a proprietary header provided by old Borland compilers to give access to some rudimentary graphical capabilities.

    OpenGL's main header is "GL/gl.h". The Platform SDK should contain it, although an old version. I would actually recommend the OpenGL Extension Wrangler ( http://glew.sf.net/ ) to get access to all the OpenGL stuff.
