This thing actually isnt working I copied it from the book
Addison.Wesley.OpenGL.Programming.Guide.7th.Ed

And trying it I included windows.h and <GL3/gl3.h>

But still not working please help

  
void display(void) 
{ 
/*  clear all pixels  */ 
     glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); 


/*   draw white polygon (rectangle) with corners at 
            *   (0.25, 0.25, 0.0) and (0.75, 0.75, 0.0) 
            */ 
                glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); 
                glBegin(GL_POLYGON); 
                    glVertex3f(0.25, 0.25, 0.0); 
                    glVertex3f(0.75, 0.25, 0.0); 
                    glVertex3f(0.75, 0.75, 0.0); 
                    glVertex3f(0.25, 0.75, 0.0); 
                glEnd(); 

           /*   don’t wait! 
            *   start processing buffered OpenGL routines 
            */ 
                glFlush(); 
           } 

           void init(void) 
           { 
           /*   select clearing (background) color               */ 
                glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); 

           /*   initialize viewing values  */ 
                glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); 
                glLoadIdentity(); 
                glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0); 
           } 

           /* 
            *   Declare initial window size, position, and display mode 
            *   (single buffer and RGBA).  Open window with “hello” 
            *   in its title bar.  Call initialization routines. 
            *   Register callback function to display graphics. 
            *   Enter main loop and process events. 
            */ 
           int main(int argc, char** argv) 
           { 
                glutInit(&argc, argv); 
                glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB); 
                glutInitWindowSize(250, 250); 
                glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100); 
                glutCreateWindow(“hello”); 
                init(); 
                glutDisplayFunc(display); 
                glutMainLoop(); 
                return 0;     /* ISO C requires main to return int. */ 
           }

Can I write the OpenGL code in devc++ ?
Yes, but I wouldn't. Just use Visual C++ 2010.

And What should I do So i can Compile it
Just like any other program.

How should I add library Can anybody give me a reference or step by step info
Search online for compiler specific instructions.

Define "not working". Do your home lights flicker? Do you see big red words on the screen that says "NOT WORKING"?

Please give observations. Without information, we cannot help you.

I think you may have started too far into the challenge.

Before you do all this OpenGL stuff you need to master the basics of compiling code, reading and understanding error messages and warning messages.

Until you have these foundations in place you will be knocking yourself out trying to do too much all at once.

Put your current book on the shelf for a couple of months and go get yourself a better book to start with.

Well, do you have GLUT installed? Is that your problem?
