Anyone can help me to setup OpenGl sdk. I have gone to opengl.org but when I try to run an example from the book I got today for x-mas I always got : "glut32.lib" fail to link or something like that... I think I miss something in the installation or in the configuration.
Any one can help me please.
mine setup really by itself, didn't really do much...but i just wanted to say you're going to love OpenGL...I've spent really all day over at NeHe reading tutorials....its great!!! :cool:
hope you had a good xmas by the way :cool:
Ah. GLUT isn't technically a part of OpenGL in the way that the gl* functions are. glu* functions are more-or-less part of the accepted standard, and they give extra useful bits.
GLUT is a (somewhat older now) method for abstracting away the messing around with creating windows -- GLUT programs work on X or Windows fairly interchangeably :)
Look for the GLUT libs on opengl.org, you can download and compile them (as well as all the example programs). Then just move glut32.lib to the correct place, and set the includes path to point at the headers :)
The infamous OpenGL book 'The Red Book' is available as a PDF

Also if you are looking for good OpenGL tutorials then got to http://nehe.gamedev.net/ I am going through the tutorials myself, to start using OGL with VC++ you only need to link 3 libraries as explained in the tutorials.
Good Luck.
I will check all your thread, thx for all answer and have good x-mas time. For your information, I just got this book : "OpenGL game programming"
Daok
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "glut32.lib"
This is what I still got, all other GL file work well but not this one :(
