i have the redbook, but ....

[short]

Hey guys, I have had the OpenGL Programming Guide Sixth Edition (red book) for a while. While its interesting, I'm trying to learn it with sdl. The book uses glux.

I have found a few online tutorials on how to get started (they have much different function calls) with sdl and opengl, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot about the combination of opengl and sdl.

Where did you all learn how to integrate the two?

Surely your seen this but just in case:

Nehe recently starting rewriting all of his well-known OpenGL tutorials to be fully compatible with SDL:

That's what I used to learn OpenGL for my first project:
http://elysianshadows.com/phpBB3/viewto ... ect#p43199

Source code is available for download. It's the first time I actually commented the majority of what I was doing and tried to keep my code organized.
Far from the best, but I suppose you might be able to use it as a rough example.

Do me a favor (if you do happen to check out my project's source) and let me know if it's actually of any use to you. I'm not sure how easy it is for others to read and I don't want to recommend it to people if it looks like rubbish to them.

The download link doesn't work for me.

Strange, it works fine for me. Try typing this in your URL bar:
