opengl with visual studio express

[iredshift]

Hello,

I am trying to use visual c++ express to write opengl programs for a
class because I don't have the full visual studio program. However,
when I downloaded and installed visual c++ express beta2, the include
files in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include" do not
include a GL folder with all the opengl headers (i.e. gl.h etc). Hence,
all of my programs complain that <GL/gl.h> is not found. Is there a way
I can manually install those headers, or do those headers only ship
with the full version of visual c++?

Thanks in advance for any help!

cheers,
Serge

Many opengl libraries can be found on the net but you shuld use glut...
But this is not the problem, vc express also complains about missing
"winmm.lib" - found only in full vc (from vc6+) - don't know if it is
in sdk. If you have this library it should work. So you need full vc+
to compile (or at least this library)... or switch to other compiler...
