    opengl setup for MSVisual c++

    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.

    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

    http://orakel.tihlde.org/kurs/3d/dow...theredbook.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.
