The documation is farily good.

There is a book out on linux game programming that covers it. I belive that book is called linux game programming. I have the source from the book, witch I got of the web.

The information is writen for linux and you will need to add a few header files. When working with opengl you must include windows.h and change the path to the open gl headers.

One final thing I have noticed that I want to use C++ when writing a game I must fource the entire thing to compile as C++ file regardless of extension, using borlands command line.

For an opengl tutorial download the files from www.libsdl.org

she's a b-tch to get working, but once you do (tell me!!) well i have it working for Linux and Dos, just not windows yet. Also, i had to abandon my lovely Borland compiler to use it the Borland support is the worst i've seen. (even worse than DX8)

rite now, i cant afford a book (and probably wont be able to for 4-5 yrs). the doc is horrible!!! no real complete examples, just snippets that i have no clue how to put together.
yes, i did get sdl working :)
