Question

This is my script i have no idea to solve this error Please help me Thank you so much

float angle = 15;
float x, y, z;               // for polygon rotate 

void display()
{

    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // clear screen and depth buffer
    glLoadIdentity();

    glPushMatrix();

    glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);

    glBegin(GL_POLYGON);


    glVertex2f(160.0, 360.0);
    glVertex2f(300.0, 360.0);
    glVertex2f(160.0, 480.0);
    glVertex2f(300.0, 480.0);

    glPushMatrix();

    glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

    glVertex2f(640.0, 480.0);

    glRotatef(angle, -1.0f, 0.0, 0.0);

    angle += 15.0f;






    glEnd();




    glutSwapBuffers(); // dounle buffering

Answer 1

As workaround you can add WinMain function from which call main:

#ifdef _WIN32
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    return main(__argc, __argv);
}
#endif
