  1. " This is how you correctly link in visual studio 12:
  2.  
  3. The first thing you create is a folder somewhere called "dev" (or really any name). In that folder you extract "freeglut"(only if you want a windowing toolkit) and "glew" (the openGL extension wrangler, this loads the gl functions).
  4.  
  5. After that you open a new project in VS12 and rightclick on the project->properties Under VC++ properties click on "Include directories" and add the path to your dev/glew/include folder and your dev/freeglut/include. Make sure your path is 100% correct! Then click on "Library directories" and add these 2 paths: dev/glew/lib and dev/freeglut/lib.
  6.  
  7. Then go to C/C++ and click on additional include directories and add these 2 paths:dev/glew/include and dev/freeglut/include. Then go to linker and add the lib folders in "additional library directories" this is a tricky one because you need to link to the correct version: \dev\glew\lib\Release\Win32
  8.  
  9. Then try your code again, if that doesn't work, try source code from the internet. Also if you copied the folders without changing there name you should include "GL/glew.h" These steps are required for each project that uses openGL. "
