VC ++ LNK Errors with GLFW

Question

I am using VC ++ 2010 to work with some OpenGL. However, it becomes a pain. I keep getting error codes again and again.

Here is the code I'm working with:

// Include standard headers #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> // Include GLEW #include <GL/glew.h> // Include GLFW #include <GL/glfw.h> // Include GLM #include <glm/glm.hpp> using namespace glm; int main( void ){ // Initialise GLFW if( !glfwInit() ){ fprintf( stderr, "Failed to initialize GLFW\n" ); return -1; } glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_FSAA_SAMPLES, 4); glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MAJOR, 3); glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MINOR, 3); glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE); // Open a window and create its OpenGL context if( !glfwOpenWindow( 1024, 768, 0,0,0,0, 32,0, GLFW_WINDOW ) ) { fprintf( stderr, "Failed to open GLFW window. If you have an Intel GPU, they are not 3.3 compatible. Try the 2.1 version of the tutorials.\n" ); glfwTerminate(); return -1; } // Initialize GLEW if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize GLEW\n"); return -1; } glfwSetWindowTitle( "Tutorial 01" ); // Ensure we can capture the escape key being pressed below glfwEnable( GLFW_STICKY_KEYS ); // Dark blue background glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.3f, 0.0f); do{ // Draw nothing, see you in tutorial 2 ! // Swap buffers glfwSwapBuffers(); } // Check if the ESC key was pressed or the window was closed while( glfwGetKey( GLFW_KEY_ESC ) != GLFW_PRESS && glfwGetWindowParam( GLFW_OPENED ) ); // Close OpenGL window and terminate GLFW glfwTerminate(); return 0; } 

Here are the errors I get:

In the solution explorer, right-click the project and select properties . In the configuration list, select "all configurations." In the left pane, select the Linker subcategory, and then the input parameter. Add opengl32.lib in the "Additional Dependencies" section.
