[Dev-C++] glut.h

[Site R. <sit...@fl...>]

I started trying to learn how to program in OpenGL. The tutorial I was =
reading mentioned glut.h within the gl directory. Dev C++ doesn't seem =
to have this header? Is it obtainable?

or, is there a way to make opengl work with a window created with the =
windows API? Thanks.

Yes. Check http://devpaks.org

Yes. But this S&M pratice will probably make you forget what the hell 
you were trying to do with OpenGL. Go to NeHe's site: http://nehe.gamdev.net

I recomend that you use glut, or any other OpenGL helper library (like 
GLUT, SDL, Allegro, freeglut, etc).

hi,

Thanks. I found only freeglut on that site, not glut; or are they the =
same thing?


Then I tried compiling my application and it wouldn't work because I =
needed to link with some libraries, so I linked with libopengl32.a and =
libfreeglut.a. But still, certain functions will not work, like glutInit.
