Hello,

I have a simple .c file in VS2008 and I have set the compile type in
(project properties-> C, C++ -> Advanced -> Compile as) to C.

main.c content:

#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <assert.h>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    return 0;
}

1- Now I am trying to compile the file but I get these errors (more than
100):

Error    1    error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'
f:\programming\vs9\vc\include\cstdio    39    gl0001
Error    2    error C2059: syntax error : ':'
f:\programming\vs9\vc\include\cstdio    39    gl0001
Error    3    error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'
f:\programming\vs9\vc\include\cstdio    41    gl0001
Error    4    error C2059: syntax error : ':'
f:\programming\vs9\vc\include\cstdio    41    gl0001
Error    5    error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'   
.....

2- If I change extension and compile type to .cpp I get the following error:

Error    1    error C2381: 'exit' : redefinition; __declspec(noreturn)
differs    f:\programming\vs9\vc\include\stdlib.h    371    gl0001

- Could someone kindly tell me the reason of those errors in number 1?

- What about Number 2?

Thanks
Mac
