"U" is not a word.

Please use code tags for code. they make it readable. [ code ] stuff [ /code ] without the spaces in the tags.

Ubuntu does not have any of the dozens of windows-specific functions being used here. The code will have to be completely rewritten. It is possible to write opengl code that will work unmodified in both windows and ubuntu, but whoever wrote this did not bother.

Further problems:

Ubuntu of course does not have windows.h.

Ubuntu does not use backslashes for path seperators, things like gl\gl.h should be gl/gl.h

The above code looks like a MFC which is for Windows.
This will not work under Ubuntu. Try to implement the same using windowing API's like FLTK or even a simple glut will work.
