Those subprograms are declared in other packages that you
have (correctly) "withed", but since you haven't given "use"
clauses for these packages, the subprograms are not directly
visible; you must specify both the package name and the subprogram
name when calling the subprogram.

Try    RC := Win32.Wingdi.wglCreateContext(hInst);

Try    Win32.Wingdi.wglMakeCurrent(hInst,RC);

Either prefix each subprogram name with the package it comes
from, or add "use" clauses, for example

   use Win32.Wingdi;

Hope it helps -- I haven't used Win32 myself, yet.
