It just means trouble using OpenGL 1.2 headers with MS OpenGL 1.1
checking version at compile time does not work.
It is also a misunderstanding that your opengl32.dll is updated.
Even if your driver supports 1.2 will they not be loaded you have to do it
yourself with wglGetProcAddress like with extensions.
To load for example glBlendEquation do you want to have it defined like
PFNGLBLENDEQUATIONPROC glBlendEquation;
but the 1.2 header has
extern void APIENTRY glBlendEquation (GLenum mode);
MS wgl functions is GDI functions and already in wingdi.h perhaps a bad solution but that is how it works on the windows platform.
I have uploaded the headers from the SGI 1.1 OpenGL implementation together with
the extension headers glext.h and wglext.h
I recommend them instead mainly because of the above.
