I just started looking at the basics of openGL, but I keep getting error LNK2019 and I don't know what's causing it or how to fix it.

Anyone know why this is happening?

you have to add some openGL libraries. Look in openGL docs for one of those functions and it should tell you what libraries you have to use.

use your compiler's debugger and find out what caused that problem.

I tried that but I still can't figure out how to fix it. It's not letting me create any arrays. I tried dynamically allocating the memory but it still didn't work :/

It allowed me to create the same array in main, but not in setupScene.

Hmm, I remade the project and copied everything the book said but now I'm getting "Unhandled exception at 0x02c6ee05 in gltools_4.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x10624dd3." when the program tries to run this :/

shaderManager.UseStockShader(GLT_SHADER_IDENTITY);

Also, this, because it might be important. http://i.imgur.com/VMFAT.png

Program code:

#include <GLTools.h>
#include <GLShaderManager.h>

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <glut/glut.h>
#else
#define FREEGLUT_STATIC
#include <GL/glut.h>
#endif

GLBatch triangleBatch;
GLShaderManager shaderManager;

void ChangeSize(int w, int h){
    glViewport(0, 0, w, h);
}

void setupRC(){
    glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);

    shaderManager.InitializeStockShaders();

    GLfloat vVerts[] = {-0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
                        0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
                        0.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f};
    triangleBatch.Begin(GL_TRIANGLES, 3);
    triangleBatch.CopyVertexData3f(vVerts);
    triangleBatch.End();
}

void RenderScene(void){
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT);

    GLfloat vRed[] = {1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f};
    shaderManager.UseStockShader(GLT_SHADER_IDENTITY);
    triangleBatch.Draw();

    glutSwapBuffers();
}


int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    gltSetWorkingDirectory(argv[0]);

    glutInit(&argc, argv);
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_STENCIL);
    glutInitWindowSize(800, 600);
    glutCreateWindow("Triangle");
    glutReshapeFunc(ChangeSize);
    glutDisplayFunc(RenderScene);

    GLenum err = glewInit();
    if(GLEW_OK != err){
        fprintf(stderr, "GLEW Error: %s\n", glewGetErrorString(err));
        return 1;
    }

    setupRC();
    glutMainLoop();

    return 0;
}

Anyone know how to fix it? :/
