And, glew.h calls gl.h, glext.h, and even gl_ati.h (in this order) so adding the includes for gl.h and glext.h can be dropped without a problem. The version of glew.h I'm using is 1.5.7 and glut is 3.7.6(freeglut 2.60). Swiftless,

Because I have no problems including GLEW, FreeGLUT and then all other headers in Visual Studio. Cheers, Swiftless Hi Fonix,

(hope this saves someone some trouble, took a while for me to find that out) might be worth mentioning that when using glut in c++, do all your standard includes before you include the glut/glew/whatever libraries. i had it give me an error when trying to use functions from the std libraries, and it was fixed buy including them before including glut.

The program is called OpenGL extension viewer 3.16 (because of OpenGL 4 there might be a newer version) and its at www.realtech-vr.com/glview the program runs benchmark tests has links to download drivers, and links to DirectX, and my favorite part, a database build into the application that lists stuff like vendors, cards, and the extensions that each card supports. Did I mention its FREE! ;) Here’s one that has come in handy for me, if I want to know the extensions my video card supports.
