    Opengl -> Borland C++ 5.02?

    Ok. Here's the deal.

    I want to start programming in Open GL. Problem? Yes!
    I have borland C++ 5.02 (No Visual C++) Will it be possible to do that in my compiler? If so, what additional files will I need?

    You shouldn't need any additional files -- just the static link library and the header. Same as if you were to be using any other compiler/linker.

    I haven't used Borland C++, but basically what you want to do is,
    before you link, go into your project's settings and link OpenGL32.lib (if you are working in win32).

    then just

    #include <gl\gl.h>

    and you should be fine.

    If you need up-to-date libraries you can find them at

    http://www.opengl.org

    Still working in dos mode (no need for me to program in windows)

    Compiler says "unable to include gl.h. gl.h not found"

    I'll try to download it.
