SUMMARY
XFONT.C from the SAMPLES\OPENGL\BOOK subdirectory is not in the MAKEFILE, and subsequently is never built.

MORE INFORMATION
XFONT.C should not be built because the sample uses X Window System system- specific functions. To use fonts with Windows NT version 3.5 OpenGL, use the wglUseFontBitmaps and glCallLists functions as described in the OpenGL online reference. Another alternative is to use auxDrawStr. Note that auxDrawStr is defined in GLAUX.H as:

  #ifdef UNICODE #define auxDrawStr auxDrawStrW #else #define auxDrawStr auxDrawStrA #endif void APIENTRY auxDrawStrA(LPCSTR); void APIENTRY auxDrawStrW(LPCWSTR);
