Been using the Visual Studio and C++ to procude graphics output with OpenGL. Have had several problems with getting the corre software input to use. A person at this site recommended having vcpkg install the freeglut system to utilize the .obj modules to produce the correct output. I did this and included:
#include <GL\freeglut.h>
#include <GL\gl.h>
and
#include <GL\glut.h>
Eliminated any references to added references in the Project elements VC++,C++ and Linker libraries, now works like a charm. Can finally get back to programming for the output. Thanks Microsoft Q&A, Sid Kraft

OpenGL on Windows uses specific headers depending on what is being used:
#include <GL\gl.h>#include <GL\glu.h>#include <windows.h>#include <GL\glaux.h>For Windows-specific OpenGL development, the documented starting point is the Windows OpenGL guidance, including header files, pixel format tasks, rendering context tasks, double buffering, and multithreaded drawing strategies.
The context does not document freeglut or glut.h, so only the Microsoft-documented headers above are supported here.
