here is the basic header file basicgl.hpp

drawLine(4.1, 5.2, 3.9, 4.2);

When i compile i get the following errors.
 
16 D:\Data\cs classes\cs450\c++\BasicGL.hpp conditional expression between distinct pointer types `void (*)(GLdouble, GLdouble)' and `void (*)(GLint, GLint)' lacks a cast

85 D:\Data\Devcpp\include\boost_1_33_1\boost\function\function_template.hpp ISO C++ forbids casting between pointer-to-function and pointer-to-object

Is there a nice work around this?

Thanks.
