Which gl header files are you using or did you write the prototype for
glLoadIdentity yourself? One reason this may not work is that the functions
in the OpenGL use "standard call" and need to be prototyped with
__attribute__((stdcall)). Generally this is #defined as part of WINAPI or
STDCALL or, in the gl headers, APIENTRY. The prototype for glLoadIdentity
looks like this in the headers I have:
WINGDIAPI void APIENTRY glLoadIdentity (void);
Note that you need to include windows.h to get APIENTRY and WINGDIAPI
defined correctly.
Good luck,
Colin.
