Hi Nayan

You also need to include windows.h to make it all work. Something
with OpenGL.... =)
Also the glx is for Unix systems i belive. In windows environments
its <glaux.h> also your main function should return a value or
you should write "void main()" to tell the compiler that main will not
return a value. Otherwise the compiler assume an int as a return value.
