It would help greatly to see your exact compile line, and to know what headers/libs you are, or think you are, using. Did you move /usr/include/GL/[gl.h glu.h] out of the way like I suggested?

So, you are using the headers from the opengl package in /usr/include/GL. That is ok as long as you don't want 1.3 functionality. Otherwise, I suggest following my "move out of the way" suggestion. > however it appears that the libopengl32.a supplied with > cygwin is only opengl1.1 compliant, which appears to be consistent with > the README. > That is because Microsoft only supplies 1.1 functionality.

I think I can probably be of great help to you here, but you need to describe you problems/goals in much greater detail.
