compiling any tut in VC6
I''m having some problems compiling any of the tutorials in Visual C++ 6. Copying the code letter for letter or downloading the zip file and inserting the source into my project produces an error either way.
The errors are as follows:

Error executing cl.exe.
test.exe - 23 error(s), 1 warning(s)
I get these errors without modifying the code in anyway. If i change "bool" to "BOOL" I can get down to just 3 errors, but then the compiler flags the pixel descriptor section with the errors so I have no idea what to do. I''m new to Win32/VC6 programming so I really don''t know what the syntax problem might be and I was hoping someone could help me out.
Thanks.
If you want more help... you should give us more informations. Such as the source-code between the line of the first error message and the line of the last error message!
Maybe you forgot a ; or you tzped in a : after an #include or something like this... who knows
Good luck!

Hmm, you said inserting the source into your project? Did you link the opengl libraries?
What happens when you download a zip, open the Workspace and compile it like that?
Let me know, I hate having problems like that.. We''ll work it out..

Thanks Bosco, I tried your suggestion and just downloaded the project and it worked fine.
I was just annoyed that it wouldn''t work when I tried to reproduce it on my own.
Is there a specific link order that I have to follow? I inserted the *.lib files last in the VC link section...

You know, I''m not a 100% sure it matters, but NeHe has always said at the very beginning before kernel32 and all and that''s where I''ve kept them..
