2. C++ / OpenGL | “undefined reference to `_imp__ChoosePixelFormat@8`” and more

I was reading NeHe's first guide to OpenGL programming, and when it came down to compiling the result of completing his first tutorial, I was stumped to find errors throughout. Here's the entire source file where the errors occur (Created in Eclipse CDT with 'opengl32' 'glaux' 'glut32' 'glu32' linked successfully):

the solution from post: Link against gdi32 (i.e. add -lgdi32 to the linker command line). This library defines the functions ChoosePixelFormat, SetPixelFormat and SwapBuffers which are reported as undefined references in the linker error messages.

My solution is: use freeglut lib file and header file.
