fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'aux.h': Permission denied - c

Question

I copied the following code from OpenGL's Redbook (Chapter 4: Display Lists) into my editor (Visual Studio Express Edition 2008), named it list.c and got compilation error.
#include "aux.h"
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
GLuint listName = 1;
void myinit (void)
{
glNewList (listName, GL_COMPILE);
glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glBegin (GL_TRIANGLES);
glVertex2f (0.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f (1.0, 0.0);
glVertex2f (0.0, 1.0);
glEnd ();
glTranslatef (1.5, 0.0, 0.0);
glEndList ();
glShadeModel (GL_FLAT);
}
void drawLine (void)
{
glBegin (GL_LINES);
glVertex2f (0.0, 0.5);
glVertex2f (15.0, 0.5);
glEnd ();
}
void display(void)
{
GLuint i;
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
glCallList (listName);
drawLine ();
glFlush ();
}
void myReshape(GLsizei w, GLsizei h)
{
glViewport(0, 0, w, h);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
if (w <= h)
gluOrtho2D (0.0, 2.0, -0.5 * (GLfloat) h/(GLfloat) w,
1.5 * (GLfloat) h/(GLfloat) w);
else
gluOrtho2D (0.0, 2.0 * (GLfloat) w/(GLfloat) h, -0.5,
1.5);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
auxInitDisplayMode (AUX_SINGLE | AUX_RGBA);
auxInitPosition (0, 0, 400, 50);
auxInitWindow (argv[0]);
myinit ();
auxReshapeFunc (myReshape);
auxMainLoop(display);
}

Answer 1

Don't use not aux, nor glaux. They're too old. GLUT is much more easier, while many of people use SDL or SFML (they're more flexible and feature-full than GLUT). You should try SFML - it has lots of features inside, it's lightweight and portable. You should be satisfied using this one =)
Still if you wanna use GLUT, here are your problems:
glutInit() should be called before
any other operations
glutInitDisplayMode() and other
window functions must be called
before any drawing
operations
Here's some sample code:
#include <GL/glut.h >
// rendering function
void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(1.0,1.0,1.0);
glBegin (GL_LINES);
glVertex2f (0.0, 0.5);
glVertex2f (15.0, 0.5);
glEnd ();
glFlush();
}
// some initializations
void init(void)
{
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
// initialize GLUT library
glutInit(&argc, argv);
// set display mode
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
// set initial window size
glutInitWindowSize(250,250);
// set initial window position
glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);
// create the window
glutCreateWindow("moofoo");
// do our initialization routines
init();
// set function which will be called each frame
glutDisplayFunc(display);
// enter main rendering loop
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}

Answer 2

You need to include the Windows header file. Fix:
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
// etc...

Answer 3

I have changed the code placing glutXxx functions instead of auxXxx ones. It compiles but doesn't run, I'd appreciate feedback here:
#include "GL/glut.h"
#include <stdio.h>
//#include <windows.h>
