Following some OpenGL tutorials for OpenGL 3+, Right out of the gate, I've run into some discrepancies, here is the code I managed to get, but right out of the gate, I'm getting this massive slew of errors, none of which say it can't find the included headers, but merely that the headers don't define the core functions.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GL/glfw3.h>
#include <glm/glm.hpp>

int main(){

// Initialise GLFW
if( !glfwInit() )
{
    fprintf( stderr, "Failed to initialize GLFW\n" );
    return -1;
}

glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_FSAA_SAMPLES, 4); // 4x antialiasing
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwOpenWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE); //I don't want the
                                                                   //old OpenGL

// Open a window and create its OpenGL context
if( !glfwOpenWindow( 1024, 768, 0,0,0,0, 32,0, GLFW_WINDOW ) )
{
    fprintf( stderr, "Failed to open GLFW window\n" );
    glfwTerminate();
    return -1;
}

// Initialize GLEW
glewExperimental=true; // Needed in core profile
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize GLEW\n");
    return -1;
}

glfwSetWindowTitle( "Tutorial 01" );

// Ensure we can capture the escape key being pressed below
glfwEnable( GLFW_STICKY_KEYS );

do{
    // Draw nothing

    // Swap buffers
    glfwSwapBuffers();

} // Check if the ESC key was pressed or the window was closed
while( glfwGetKey( GLFW_KEY_ESC ) != GLFW_PRESS &&
glfwGetWindowParam( GLFW_OPENED ) );

The problem being the fact that MinGW doesn't like this very much and has produced a ton of "undeclared" errors, all of which are required for an OpenGL window to exist. I've never worked with any graphics library other than a little bit of SDL2, so you may need to walk me through this... Which would be very appreciated.

You use GLFW3 headers but the code you wrote is for GLFW2.

In GLFW3 the function glfwOpenWindowHint() is renamed to glfwWindowHint()

Check out this page for upgrade instructions: http://www.glfw.org/docs/3.0/moving.html There are a lot of things that changed since GLFW2.
