Don't kill me please! I've looked around a bit, but i'm not sure where to download them... On the Open GL website it looks like you can download software runtimes, but i can't find where to download the libraries. [edited by - Sky on January 7, 2003 6:29:16 PM]

OpenGL is a standard, not an implementation. Depending upon what OS and graphics system you''re using, the implementation differs.

X11/*nix: Mesa3D might be built into the windowing system or installed by itself. Install Mesa3D yourself if needed. Mesa3D is OpenGL 1.4 compliant.

MacOS X: I don''t know many of the details, but new versions ship with newer implementations. Jaguar had OpenGL 1.4 compliance.

Windows: No new OpenGL hardware accelerated implementations have been released in a long time, so you probably already have the newest version. Microsoft''s implementation only has OpenGL 1.1 compliance.

Of course, all of these implementations are just the MCD''s. You normally link against the MCD library to use an ICD at runtime. The ICD is provided by your video card drivers.

Ok, I tried to compile the Nehe GL Basecode, but "the file ''gl/gl.h'' cannot be opened"
and neither can ''gl/glu.h'', and then i got a bunch of errors that were because it couldn''t open those to header files.

hmm... i took off the ''gl/'' part, and then it can link to it it seems... but then in the glu.h and everything when it trys to #include <GL/gl.h> then it screws up...

I''m using metroworks codewarrior, by the way.
