OpenGL linking issue with vs2017

Question

I'm trying to link openGL library's with visual studio 2017. in the linker i included some library's and headers but it gives me the following errors:

    Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error   LNK2028 unresolved token (0A000040) "extern "C" void __cdecl gluPerspective(double,double,double,double)" (?gluPerspective@@$$J0YAXNNNN@Z) referenced in function "protected: void __clrcall OpenGLForm::COpenGL::ReSizeGLScene(int,int)" (?ReSizeGLScene@COpenGL@OpenGLForm@@$$FIE$AAMXHH@Z)   Graphical Arduino Windows Controller    C:\Users\dani\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Project1\Project1\Viewport.obj  1

also this one

    Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error   LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "extern "C" void __cdecl gluPerspective(double,double,double,double)" (?gluPerspective@@$$J0YAXNNNN@Z) referenced in function "protected: void __clrcall OpenGLForm::COpenGL::ReSizeGLScene(int,int)" (?ReSizeGLScene@COpenGL@OpenGLForm@@$$FIE$AAMXHH@Z)    Graphical Arduino Windows Controller    C:\Users\dani\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Project1\Project1\Viewport.obj  1

and also

    Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error   LNK1120 2 unresolved externals  Graphical Arduino Windows Controller    C:\Users\dani\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Project1\x64\Debug\Graphical Arduino Windows Controller.exe 1

Anyone know how to resolve these linker issues?

You mentioned that you have included some libraries and headers. Can you be more specific what libraries that you have already added as input and how? — elimad, Mar 21 '18 at 13:42
Yes, i includedglew32.lib glew32s.lib glfw3.lib flgw3dll.lib and OpenGL32.lib — Paus Dederde, Mar 21 '18 at 13:59
oh and for the headers i includedthe GL, GLFW and GLM headers. i've added all of these as dependancies. — Paus Dederde, Mar 21 '18 at 13:59
If you want to use glu* function you need to link against glut or freeglut. glu functions are not part to the OpenGL API. — BDL, Mar 21 '18 at 21:47
