hi,
i am new to OpenGL. Soon i have to do a college project on this platform so i decided to learn open GL. while working with glui i am facing some problems. i downloaded glui-2.36. I thought of starting with the example1 (code added at bottom of the post) that was included in source folder of glui-2.36.
i am using VB.net 2008
When i build the project it gives me 3 errors:

error C2661: 'GLUI_Checkbox::GLUI_Checkbox' : no overloaded function takes 3 arguments

error C2661: 'GLUI_Spinner::GLUI_Spinner' : no overloaded function takes 3 arguments

error C2227: left of '->set_int_limits' must point to class/struct/union/generic type

Plz help me. Thanks !

Here is cpp code:

#include <string.h>
#include <GL/glui.h>

int   wireframe = 0;
int   segments = 8;
int   main_window;

void myGlutIdle( void )
{
  /* According to the GLUT specification, the current window is 
     undefined during an idle callback.  So we need to explicitly change
     it if necessary */
  if ( glutGetWindow() != main_window ) 
    glutSetWindow(main_window);  

  glutPostRedisplay();
}


/**************************************** myGlutReshape() *************/

  xy_aspect = (float)x / (float)y;
  glViewport( 0, 0, x, y );

  glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );
  glLoadIdentity();
  glFrustum( -xy_aspect*.08, xy_aspect*.08, -.08, .08, .1, 15.0 );

  glutPostRedisplay();
}

  /*** Rotate the object ***/
  rotationX += 3.3f;
  rotationY += 4.7f;

  glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );
  glLoadIdentity();
  glTranslatef( 0.0, 0.0, -1.0 );
  glRotatef( rotationY, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 );
  glRotatef( rotationX, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0 );

  /*** Now we render object, using the variables 'segments' and
    'wireframe'.  These are _live_ variables, which are transparently 
    updated by GLUI ***/
  
  if ( wireframe )
    glutWireTorus( .2,.5,16,segments );
  else
    glutSolidTorus( .2,.5,16,segments );

  glutSwapBuffers(); 
}

Dude. Wrong forum.
But those errors seem pretty obvios to me.
Examine the code at lines 116, 117 and 118.
