i have installed VS 2008,i have copied opengl32.lib,glu32.lib,glut32.lib to library folder, and header files to include folder.
now i typed the following code which just displays a window-----
**************************************************************************************************************
#include<GL/glut.h><br/>

void display(void)<br/>
{<br/>
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);<br/>
glLoadIdentity();<br/>
glFlush();<br/>
}<br/>
<br/>
void main(int argc,char **argv)<br/>
{<br/>
glutInit(&argc,argv);<br/>
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB);<br/>
glutInitWindowSize(500,500);<br/>
glutCreateWindow("3D gasket");<br/>
glutDisplayFunc(display);<br/>
glClearColor(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);<br/>
glutMainLoop();<br/>
}
****************************************************************************************************
but i am getting the following erors-----

**********************************************************************************************************************
now,i dont know what is causing these problems,can anyone explain me in detail as i am new to this subject,i.e.,visual studio and opengl.
also i have added these files in <span style="font-weight:bold project
<span style="font-weight:bold properties->Linker->Input->Additional dependencies:

<span style="font-weight:bold Opengl32.lib glu32.lib glut32.lib
do i have to use quotes to add them??like this--"Opengl32.lib" "glu32.lib" "glut32.lib"
(also i dont know how to link with the libraries)
thank you in advance..
