Hi Jean,

no, usually MESA is not required. What you only need is the opengl32.dll and the glu32.dll (e.g. C:\Windows\System32). The graphics card driver should provide the latest versions for these files. The old version of the MinGW OpenGL headers is normal, that's the same on my system - the purpose of GLEW is to wrap the functions of OpenGL > 1.3.
So I'd guess you have an old driver/ a conficting library or headers somewhere. Perhaps OpenGL 2.1 is not supported on your system ( some older Intel GMA Chipsets support only < 2.0 ).

A nice tool for troubleshooting is "GLview":

There you can check, which extensions are supported.

I've found some movies on youtube, which are maybe also helpful:

OpenGL 4.2 + MinGW

OpenGL Superbible example (OpenGL 3.3), MinGW:

I'll try next week to compile on my notebook (Windows 7 however), I'll check if I run into the same troubles ..

Bye,
Torsten
