Where do i download the opengl SDK? I have looked on opengl.org and i can''t find it. I need the windows version for windows 9x.
I tried to code, but the compiler kept giving me an error: stupid coder alert.hpotter2
It''s included in the Platform SDK, so you may want to download that.
---visit #directxdev on afternet <- not just for directx, despite the name

I believe it should already be on your computer.
If you have Visual C++ you have the headers to #include and libraries to link with.

If you have MSDN then you have documentation on every OpenGL function. Check the Platform SDK/Graphics and Multimedia section.

You should however purchase the OpenGL Programming Guide if possible. There is a version available on the web too. Use google to find it.

If you''re using Visual C++ the headers and libs for OpenGL are already included. Microsoft''s OpenGL is version 1.1, so you''ll want to visit to http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ and download the glext.h and wglext.h extension headers.
depends on the compiler it will be with it, and search for it on google

Dev-C++ also comes with OpenGL libs.
