OGL installation problems.

Post by JaxDragon »

I recently wanted to start learning OpenGL, so I went over to videotutorialsrock.com Sadly, when I run ogl_setup(or whatever, its the exe that installs OGL, not glut) no window appears. Any help?

Exe? What? You should just need all the headers.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

The video told me to run a EXE to install the headers, but I found out that a windows SDK comes with them.

When you add a new API to your IDE, you don't have to run any EXE files, it should just be a matter of saving the headers and libs in a location you can find, and then telling your compiler where to look AFAIK (I can't be sure of course, since I don't use OGL, but adding libraries is pretty standard, you just have to tell your IDE where to find the libraries)

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P
