@AlexK: Actually on Windows you have to include windows.h before GL/gl.h because the Windows variant of that header makes use of some macros defined therein. So it's become canonical to add a #ifdef _WIN32 #include <windows.h> #endif in OpenGL code meant to be portable.

| Aug 16, 2011 at 23:33 | comment | added | AlexK | That depends on whether he is trying to use GLUT or WGL. GLUT wouldn't require library user to include OS specific headers. | |

You still need to include windows.h; you can't create a window without one. And you can't initialize OpenGL without creating a window.
