I would really want to lern the very basics on writing an openGL plugin for winamp
Not really focused on the openGL part, just how to create an openGL window that can recive messages from winamp, and acually show up.
It seems like atleast a few people here have run into the same problems when attempting to create a vis plugin for winamp, and that is the fact that it refuses to render anything.

My own attempt has resulted in this:
When launching the plugin without a song playing the window opens up, but the background isn''t cleared and looks kinda messed up.
If I start playing a song, windows *almost* freeze, but if I launch the plugin while a song already is playing, it totally freeze.

I''ve spend days trying to find ANY information about this, but it''s hard enough to find tutorials on how to write a non GL vis plugin for winamp, and information on gl plugs simply doesn''t exist.

So if anyone know how, please share your brains

I just started porting some of my code to Linux and so far the only thing I''ve found for setting up OpenGL under Linux is GLUT! Needless to say the lack of flexability with glut annoys me so I''d like to see a tutorial on GL in Linux without glut!
If one dosn''t exist please know that as of know I''m starting the reasurch to create one! That means I''ll probably have to learn X.
