    Question Dev-C++ Question

    Hello,

    I have a question about Dev-C++ and OpenGL. Is it possible to do OpenGL in Dev C++. I don't know much about OpenGL, in a sense of, is their software? If it isn't possible, tell me how please. Oh, I found this site on a bunch of programming stuff. It has a very nice OpenGL tutorial as well. But I just need some better clarification. http://www.morrowland.com/apron/tut_gl.php

    Well, I know nothing at all about Open GL, but I know quite a bit about Dev C++, and I know that they do list Open GL as a Project type wehn creating a new project under the Multimedia tab. If you haven't already, do a quick search for Open GL, or Multimedia in the Dev C++ Help files.

    You can go to Tools -> Check for updates/packages and find OpenGL and it will auto install it for you. Then you just create an openGL project

    Haha... its just sometimes compiling the source+libraries and installing it yourself can get frustrating, for example I've finally compiled the source+libraries for Ogre3D and may I say that was such a pain in the *** because for that reason (package didnt work from dev). But I think you should try it and if it wont work then look for the full package and install it yourself.
