I just wonder if you can code OpenGL on DJGPP or ANY other FREE compiler....

DJGPP - no, although I think there was once a Mesa port...
Any other free compiler - take your pick. MiniGW, LCC-Win32, Borland ... they can all do OpenGL.

NOTE: I have not tried it, but...

OpenGL works fine with gcc for linux, and djgpp is just a windows port of gcc. Also, all my makefile includes in linux is the SDL library, the GL and GLU libraries. All three are available for windows, so why would these not be able to be tied together to make an OpenGL .exe?
Those that understand this, I probably seem pretty uninformed, but why would this not work? Do the opengl libs need to be written to work with each compiler?

Yup. If you''re using the Allegro game library with DJGPP, there is a OpenGL wrapper called AllegGL. Go to www.allegro.cc , you can ask about it on the forums, and I believe the link to the site with it is there too ....

DJGPP is a DOS-only compiler, and OpenGL doesn''t run in DOS (except possibly for the aforementioned Mesa port). In other words, you can''t use DJGPP for OpenGL.

Right, djgpp is a dos compiler and you can not use it for OpenGL. AllegGL is an alternative to glut with allegro functions for sound, input and so on.

No, AllegGL only works with MSVC, Mingw and Linux/Unix gcc
