Why am I getting these errors?
error: 'GL_VERTEX_SHADER' was not declared in this scope
error: 'glCreateShader' was not declared in this scope
Code:
GLuint vs = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
And yes, I do have the includes to glut.
'glCreateShader' was not declared in this scope?

Make sure you are initializing your OpenGL context before you try to access any of the GL namespace. Eg. with GLAD:
// after initializing window
if (!gladLoadGLLoader((GLADloadproc)glfwGetProcAddress))
{
std::cout << "Failed to initialize GLAD" << std::endl;
return -1;
}
