    Thumbs up Missing glut.h file in Dev C++

    I recently thought I'd give OpenGL a go so I referered to the site http://www.glprogramming.com/ and the example code in it requires this: GL/glut.h

    I looked around and found this .

    I have two questions:
    1. Is this the right file, and,
    2. How would I go about applying this to my compiler, Dev C++?

    Yes, you'll need the glut dev files.

    glut.lib (or whatever) (goes in ./lib)
    glut.h (goes in ./include/gl

    Look around, there's packaged versions of them too: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html

    Glut is nice but it's pretty outdated. If you can try and obtain openglut or even better GLFW since it supports opengl Extensions built in and it was recently ubdated.

    Edit: Yikes, just got a look at the glprogramming.com forums. No wonder you came here.
