VC++ compile errors when including gl.h

Question

Compiling a file that uses OpenGL with Visual C++, when I try to include the gl.h header file I get about 150 unhelpful compile errors:

error C2144: syntax error : \'voi

Answer 1

if you use visual c++, make sure you already have the opengl library. use #include before the #include and if you use #include in your program make sure you are not type like this #include , if you type like that it can be error "GL/glut.h no such file or directory"
